Module 3 Water Quality Index

Stream Name: PEACH CREEK-Chilliwack | Survey Date: September 14th, 2014
Chemical Test	Result	Q-value	Weighting	Index Value
Temperature Change: Temperature	Not enough data	91.00	X 0.10 =	9.1
Oxygen Saturation:	91.00	98.00	x 0.17 =	16.66
pH (units):	7.10	91.00	x 0.11 =	10.01
Turbidity (cm):	75.00	72.00	x 0.08 =	5.76
Total = Water Quality Index (Compare this value to the Water Quality Chart below)				41.53
