| contents | Physico-chemical water quality indices - a comparative review Alberto Ramírez Nelson Fernández Fredy Solano Química Water Pollution Pollution Indices Water Quality Indices and Water Quality Assessment Water quality assessment can be defined as the evaluation of the physical,chemical and biological nature of water in relation to natural quality, humaneffects and intended uses. Water Quality Indices (WQIs) and WaterPollution Indices (WPIs) reduce a great amount of parameters to a simplerexpression, to enable easier interpretation of the monitoring data. MainDifference between WQIs and WPIs included the form how they evaluatethe processes of pollution and the number of variables taken in accountin each formulation.In this context, this paper displays a comparative study of 36 (thirty-six)WQIs and WPIs, on the basis of mathematical structure, similarityparameters and behavior given the same set of data. The results indicatethat appreciable differences exist between classifications given by differentindices on the same water sample. Differing parameter numbers,calculations and aggregation formulas can explain this. Thus, it waspossible to establish that the WPIs developed in Colombia by Ramirezet. al. (1997) and the AMOEBA strategy, developed by de Zwart (1995) inThe Netherlands, displays great advantages over traditional formulations,because the different kinds the pollution are segregated better. 2004 artículo científico 0120-4211 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=90320103 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=903 Bistua: Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Básicas application/pdf Universidad de Pamplona Bistua: Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Básicas (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.2 |
