Parameter Unit Parameter Value Q-value Weight Factor Total
DO% % sat 0.00 99.00 0.17 16.83
Fecal Coliform #/100 mL Data Unavailable
pH pH 8.08 84.92 0.11 9.34
Total Phosphate mg PO4/L 1.87 24.68 0.10 2.47
Nitrates mg NO3/L Data Unavailable
Turbidity NTU 6.11 81.97 0.08 6.56
Total Solids mg/l 364.00 49.35 0.07 3.45
Totals (factors, total) 0.53 38.65
Adjusted WQI 72.93

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.
