Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Water Resource Management

Background:

  • The Water Framework Directive mandates achieving good ecological status for surface and ground waters.
  • Effective water quality assessment relies on analyzing key water chemistry parameters.
  • Existing methods may lack the speed, accuracy, or reliability needed for real-time monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To devise a quantitative water quality assessment method for surface waters.
  • To utilize water chemistry parameters for rapid, accurate, and reliable quality evaluation.
  • To develop an Aquatic Environment Index (AEI) for a comprehensive overview of water quality.

Main Methods:

  • Defining quality classes for each water chemistry parameter based on legal limits.
  • Calculating weight indices using paired comparison of parameters and a normalized matrix.
  • Conducting parametric level analysis of water chemistry parameters.
  • Calculating the Aquatic Environment Index (AEI).

Main Results:

  • A novel quantitative method for water quality assessment was successfully developed.
  • The method provides a comprehensive overview of water quality through the AEI.
  • The approach was validated using water samples from Lake Balaton, Hungary.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method offers a robust tool for evaluating surface water quality.
  • The Aquatic Environment Index (AEI) effectively summarizes complex water chemistry data.
  • This approach supports the goals of the Water Framework Directive in monitoring water body status.
