CALCULATION OF THE WATER QUALITY INDEX IN THE GÜIRABO RESERVOIR

Abstract

Improving the quality of water quality diagnoses in reservoirs by improving the methodologies currently used is one of the priorities of specialists dedicated to the study of water resources. The objective of this research is to propose a methodology for the assessment of the Water Quality Index (WQI) in the Güirabo reservoir, which includes the parameters NO3 and Turbidity. Different scientific research methods were applied and the AHP software was used to define these parameters. The result is a more robust and validated methodology, considered an effective and practical means for a better assessment of the WQI.
