Article: RAW GROUNDWATER QUALITY INDEX (RGWQI) FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DRINKING WATER
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A Raw Groundwater Quality Index (RGWQI) was developed to evaluate the quality of groundwater exploited in sedimentary aquifers and taken to a treatment plant for the production of drinking water in the Metropolitan Region of Salvador - RMS. As the groundwater is possibly subjected to human impacts, and it is used to produce potable water, the analysis performed by the treatment plant laboratory, involve, besides the usual physical-chemical parameters, organic and nitrogen compounds, and fecal coliforms. The IQASB, a product of sub-indices of quality, is based on the SEQ - Eaux Souterraine, a French quality index; and the IQNAS, an index applied to groundwater, which follows the NSF-WQI and IQA-CETESB. The methodology for choosing the parameters and weights was through consensus among experts, obtained using the Delphi method. The IQASB was applied to groundwater samples and the results showed its suitability as a complementary tool for monitoring the quality of groundwater subject to the negative impacts of qualiÁguas Subterrâneas. 10/2010;
