## How to Calculate Water Quality Index

The WQI combines multiple water quality parameters into a single score.

### Formula

**WQI = DO(0.30) + pH(0.15) + Turbidity(0.20) + Temp(0.15) + Nutrients(0.20)**

### Rating Scale

- **90-100**: Excellent
- **70-89**: Good
- **50-69**: Medium
- **25-49**: Bad
- **0-24**: Very Bad

Each parameter is first converted to a 0-100 sub-index score based on its measured value.

Lösungsbeispiel

A water body with DO=75, pH=80, Turbidity=70, Temperature=85, Nutrients=65.

  1. DO: 75 * 0.30 = 22.5
  2. pH: 80 * 0.15 = 12.0
  3. Turbidity: 70 * 0.20 = 14.0
  4. Temperature: 85 * 0.15 = 12.75
  5. Nutrients: 65 * 0.20 = 13.0
  6. WQI = 22.5 + 12.0 + 14.0 + 12.75 + 13.0 = 74.3 (Good)
