Parameter Unit Parameter Value Q-value Weight Factor Total
DO% % sat 163.00 50.00 0.17 8.50
Fecal Coliform #/100 mL 220.00 32.44 0.16 5.19
pH pH 7.67 92.95 0.11 10.22
Total Phosphate mg PO4/L 0.26 82.42 0.10 8.24
Nitrates mg NO3/L Data Unavailable
Turbidity NTU 18.60 60.82 0.08 4.87
Total Solids mg/l 148.00 76.94 0.07 5.39
Totals (factors, total) 0.69 42.41
Adjusted WQI 61.46

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.
