English Abstract
An attempt has been made to assess the water quality of the Danube River using water quality index technique.
In this study, the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index (CCME-WQI) was selected to express the quality of water for drinking water abstraction and to provide information on the spatial and temporal variations of the river water quality.
Water quality of 13 parameters has been considered in four sampling stations during 1-year period.
The European Community (EC) standards for drinking water abstraction were used for CCME WQI calculation.
The water quality variables included in the index are dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, ammonium, nitrates, total phosphorus, water temperature, pH, total suspended solids, cadmium, copper, chromium, nickel and lead.
The results revealed that the water quality was found fair in all sampling stations except one station, which was marginal.
It was observed that the most important variables that affected the water quality were ammonium, total phosphorous, water temperature and total suspended solids.
Moreover, no significant changes were observed for temporal variation in the Danube river water quality.
The CCME WQI gave reasonable results and introduced representative outcomes of the raw data of the river.
