Some Important Indices for the
Affected Environment

2. Introduction
Affected Environment
Pollutant Standard Index (PSI)
Water Quality Index (WQI)
Sources of Noise Pollution and
Control Measure
Summary

3. Affected Environment
Air Quality,
Built the New Environment,
Climate Change,
Economics,
Fire and Fuels, Forest Vegetation,
Lands Uses
Natural Hazards
Noise
Water Quality
Soil Erosion, etc.

12. Water Quality Index (WQI)
The WQI is based on the results chemical
tests:
1. Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
2. Fecal Coliform (FC)
3. pH
4. Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
5. Turbidity
6. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), etc.
These tests were chosen because they
significantly impact aquatic organisms

13. Water Quality Index’s (WQI) Formula
13
SIi =the subindex of ith parameter
qi = the rating based on concentration of ith parameter
n = the number of parameters
(Ramakrishnaiah et al, 2009)
14. WQI’s Value

24. Summary
By using Environmental Index,
◦ preparing a description of the
environmental setting for the proposed
project
◦ Gathering and summarizing extant data
◦ Communicating information on existing
environmental quality
◦ Providing a basic data for impact
prediction and assessment
