"Evaluating Water Health: A Review of Varied Water Quality Index Computation Techniques"

Abstract

Abstract: The Water Quality Index (WQI) is a useful and distinctive assessment that summarises the state of the water supply in a single phrase, making it easier to choose the best treatment method to address the challenges at hand. WQI, on the other hand, illustrates the combined impact of several water quality measures and disseminates water quality data to the general public and legislative decision-makers. Despite the lack of a universally recognised composite water quality index, certain nations have utilised and are still utilising aggregated water quality data to construct water quality indices. There have been attempts to evaluate the WQI standards for the suitability of drinking water sources. The current article also emphasises and brings attention to the creation of a new, widely used "Water Quality Index" in a simpler format, which may be used to reflect an accurate representation of water quality.
