Using a single numerical value to indicate the quality of water, a so-called Water Quality Index (WQI) is a well-established way of rating the overall water quality status of a given water body. During the last few years, researchers in the water sector have developed different such indices to address their specific needs. In this study, we attempt to obtain a WQI formula suited for evaluating the water quality of the River Lea. We have selected four different sites on the River Lea and explore the possibility of monitoring using a minimum number of parameters only. The results obtained are very encouraging and provide a strong indication that only three parameters are enough to indicate water quality of a water body.
使用单一数值来表示水质，所谓的水质指数（WQI）是一种评估特定水体整体水质状况的成熟方法。在过去的几年中，水务研究人员开发了不同的此类指数来满足他们的特定需求。在本研究中，我们试图获得一个适合评估利河水质的 WQI 公式。我们在利河选择了四个不同的地点，并探索仅使用最少数量的参数进行监测的可能性。得到的结果非常令人鼓舞，并强烈表明仅需三个参数即可指示水体的水质。
