Parameter Unit Parameter Value Q-value Weight Factor Total
DO% % sat 127.80 86.34 0.17 14.68
Fecal Coliform #/100 mL Data Unavailable
pH pH 8.50 69.18 0.11 7.61
Total Phosphate mg PO4/L 1.34 30.48 0.10 3.05
Nitrates mg NO3/L Data Unavailable
Turbidity NTU 8.30 78.03 0.08 6.24
Total Solids mg/l 420.00 41.94 0.07 2.94
Totals (factors, total) 0.53 34.51
Adjusted WQI 65.12

The WQI is computed by converting measured Water Quality Parameters to "Q-Values" using charts developed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) water quality scientists. The Q-Values are then multiplied by a weighting factor based on the importance of that water quality parameter. These values are totaled and then divided by the sum of the weight factors.
