ABSTRACT
The Water Quality Index (WQI) is an empirical expression
which integrates nine significant physical/ chemical, and
microbiological parameters of water quality into a single
number. It was developed by the National Sanitation
Foundation (NSF) in response to the need for a uniform
method of measuring and reporting water quality in consis-
tent, comprehensible terms.
To meaningfully demonstrate the responsiveness of WQI
to variations in water quality, and to determine optimum
frequencies for computing and reporting WQI, a comprehensive
field sampling, laboratory analysis, and data management
program was systematically developed for applying WQI to
selected sites on the Kansas River and its major tributaries.
Nearly 600 samples from 26 sites - 14 main stem and 12
tributary - were included in the study. Seventeen parameters
were measured in the laboratory - the nine in WQI and eight
closely related parameters - to determine the validity of
term substitution in the index expression. Parameters most
responsible for quality variation in both main stem and
tributary stations were identified by least squares regression.
Results/ expressed as WQI, indicated that the NSF water
quality index is an effective method for measuring and re-
porting overall quality variations in the Kansas River. The
operational methodology and results of the study are pre-
sented in detail in this report.
This report was submitted in fulfillment of Contract Number
68-01-0761 by The National Sanitation Foundation under the
sponsorship of the Environmental Protection Agency. Work
was completed as of January 1974.

SECTION I
CONCLUSIONS
To insure continued public and private support for water
quality improvement programs, a uniform, comprehensible
format must be adopted for measuring and reporting progress -
or lack of progress - in attaining current and future pro-
gram objectives. Through widespread application of the
water quality index (WQI), developed and applied by the
National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), a specific, simplistic
method is available for quantitative, consistent practice
in measuring and reporting water quality. It -t-6 e.mpkaAtze.d

river and tributary stations included
in this study. Although the same
four parameters are indicated in
main stream and tributary data,
their order of relative importance
varies.
4) Two sets of parameters are highly
correlated in both main stem and
tributary stations - suspended
solids with turbidity, and total
coliforms with fecal coliforms.
Other parameters are not closely
related and cannot logically be
substituted in calculating WQI
for the Kansas River.
5) WQI is an effective method for
indicating and reporting overall
quality and expressing quality
trends in the study area.
-------
SECTION II
RECOMMENDATIONS
1) Data acquired during this study should be expanded to in-
clude all seasons of the year. Changes in quality which
occur as normal seasonal variations are not reflected
in this report as a result of the limited period of per-
formance. A program should be implemented for applying
WQI as a continuing water quality management tool
throughout Region VII.
2) Comprehensive planning "for future water quality objec-
tives in Region VII should include the use of WQI as an
integral part of interpreting changes in the overall
quality of streams in the Region and reporting these
changes to the public.
3) An education/public information program should be
developed in Region VII to acquaint water quality
control administrators, legislative decision makers,
and the public with the meaning and use of WQI in
evaluating stream quality.
4) WQI should be adopted on a national level to provide a
basis for uniform water quality management operations.
It is strongly recommended that programs similar to the
Region VII study be implemented at the earliest oppor-
tunity in at least three additional regions. These
regions should be widely separated geographically to
demonstrate that WQI is responsive to changes in quality
without respect to location. Each of these demonstra-
tions should include an education/public information
component.

SECTION III
THE WATER QUALITY INDEX
Definition
By definition, the Water Quality Index (WQI) is a single
numerical expression which reflects the composite influence
of nine significant physical, chemical, and microbiological
parameters of water quality. It was developed and field
evaluated by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) to
provide a uniform method for indicating and reporting the
benefits - or lack of benefits - realized from billions of
public and private dollars invested in stream quality im-
provement programs.
Rationale
The need for a water quality index is well documented. In
January 1959 the Committee on National Water Policy of the
Conference of State Sanitary Engineers (CSSE) proposed that
an objective study be initiated to develop a uniform method
for indicating water quality. As a result of this action,
the CSSE Committee and the Conference of State and Interstate
Water Pollution Control Administrators (CSIWPCA) began
developing criteria for demonstrating the progress of water
pollution control programs, but nothing tangible emerged from
this effort.
In 1965 the Environmental Pollution Panel of the President's
Science Advisory Committee recommended that the federal
government stimulate development of an index of chemical
pollution, which, would "allow us to follow many important
changes in general water quality."(1)
4
-------
The Environmental Study Group of the National Academy of
Science proposed that various environmental indices, including
"water purity" be developed and weighted into an overall
Environmental Quality Index (2), a concept supported in a
report to the Senate Committee on Public Works (3).
In its third annual report, the President's Council on En-
vironmental Quality stated that, "Accurate and timely in-
formation on status and trends in the environment is neces-
sary to shape sound public policy and to implement environ-
mental quality programs efficiently. Further, the American
people are entitled to know whether the public and private
money being spent to protect the environment returns a com-
mensurate improvement in environmental quality."(4)
The Honorable Russell E. Train, in addressing the National
Conference on Managing the Environment, said "hccuiate. and

These statements and recommendations are consistent with
stated objectives for the NSF Water Quality Index, to:
-------
1) Make available a tool for dependably
treating water quality data and pre-
senting them as a single numerical
index, and
2) Promote utilization of a process for
effectively communicating water quality
conditions to all concerned.
Methodology
Development of WQI was undertaken by NSF as an unsponsored
project. The basic methodology attempted to incorporate
many aspects of DELPHI (6), an opinion research technique
developed by the Rand Corporation. Individual judgements
of a large panel of experts were integrated to produce a
group decision. Through controlled feedback, each panelist
was given the opportunity to compare his individual response
with that of the group, and to change his response to more
nearly conform with the group if he considered it desirable
to do so.
A panel of 142 persons with expertise in water quality
management was carefully selected for this study. Wide
geographical distribution and diverse specialties - regula-,
tory responsibility (federal, interstate, state, territorial,
and regional), local public utilities management, consulting,
and teaching - were represented. The panelists received a
series of mailed questionnaires.
In the first questionnaire, the respondents were asked to
consider the 35 parameters, shown in Table 1, for possible
inclusion in a water quality index. Opportunity was pro-
vided to include additional parameters. Each parameter
was to be designated according to one of the following
categories: "do not include," "undecided," or "include."

Respondents were asked to rate only those parameters marked
"include," according to their significance to overall water
quality. This rating was done on a scale of "1" (highest
relative significance) to "5" (lowest relative significance).
Of the total panel of 142 members, 102 respondents (72%)
completed and returned the first questionnaire; however,
of these, only 94 were returned in time to be included in
the second round.
The second mailing included a computer printout of results
from the first questionnaire. Respondents were instructed
to note their individual responses for each parameter and
compare them with those of the entire group. In view of
this feedback information, respondents were then asked to
review their original judgements and modify them if they
wished. The intent was to gain greater convergence of
opinion concerning how the various parameters rated with
respect to their effect on overall water quality. (However,
there was little change in the significance ratings expressed
in Questionnaire No. 2 when compared with the initial round.)
Nine additional parameters, added to the first questionnaire
by several respondents, were introduced for group considera-
tion in the second questionnaire: chromium (hexavalent),
total organic carbon, cyanides, conductivity, lead, arsenic,
cadmium, selenium, and zinc. In addition, panelists were
asked to designate not more than 15 parameters, which they
considered to be the "most important" for inclusion in a
water quality index. The complete list of parameters was
presented, arranged in decreasing order of significance as
determined by the average rating of the entire group from
Questionnaire No. 1. Of 94 respondents receiving the second
questionnaire, 77 completed and returned it for an 82%
-------
response rate. Utilizing expert opinion derived from initial
rounds of the study, 11 parameters, or groups of parameters,
were listed for further consideration.
In Questionnaire No. 3, respondents were asked to assign
values for the variation in level of water quality produced
by different levels of the nine individual parameters. This
was accomplished by utilizing a series of graphs. Levels
of "water quality" from 0 to 100 were indicated on the
ordinate, and various levels (or strengths) of the particu-
lar parameter were arranged along the abscissa.
The respondents were asked to draw a curve which, in their
judgement, represented the variation of water quality pro-
duced by the various possible measurements of each respec-
tive parameter. "Judgements" of all panelists were then
combined to produce a set of "average curves" - one for each
parameter. A complete set of curves is included as
Appendix A of this report.
Special procedures seemed necessary for "pesticides" and
"toxic elements," two "groups of parameters," and the re-
spondents were asked to evaluate these. For pesticides it
was proposed that "if the total content of detected pesticides
(of all types) exceeds 0.1 mg/1 (100 ppb), the water be auto-
matically registered at zero, the lowest value on the water
quality index scale." The suggested procedure for including
"toxic elements" in the WQI "would be to set a critical
upper limit for the presence of each element. If any toxic
element exceeded its assigned upper limit, the water quality
index would automatically register as zero." The maximum
permissable levels for toxic elements contained in the
current Drinking Water Standards (7) were proposed as those to
-------
be observed. The panelists agreed with this procedure for
handling each of the groups of parameters.
The third mailing also sought information which contributed
to the formation of "parameter weightings" in a final numeri-
cal expression. Thus, respondents were asked to compare
relative overall water quality, using a scale of "1"
(highest relative value) to "5" (lowest relative value).
This operation differed from the initial rating of significance
(Questionnaire No. 1) in that now only the final 11 parameters
(or groups) were being considered. From these data,
weightings were derived for each parameter included in the
final WQI, according to the following procedure, summarized
in Table 2.
1) Arithmetic means were calculated for the
significance ratings returned for all
parameters (except "pesticides" and
"toxic elements").
2) Ratings were converted into weights by
assigning a "temporary weight" of 1.0
to the parameter which received the
highest significance rating; i.e.,
dissolved oxygen.
3) To preserve the ordering and relative
ratios returned by the panelists,
other temporary weights were obtained
by dividing each individual mean
rating into the highest rating.
4) Each "temporary weight" was then
divided by the sum of all weights
to obtain the final weights, w..

-------
With parameter selection, quality curves, and relative para-
meter significance determined, the project staff proposed
an additive expression for WQI:
n
WQI Z w. q. (1)
where WQI = the Water Quality Index, a number between
0 and 100 (theoretical),
q. = the quality of the ith parameter, a number
between 0 and 100, (read from the
quality curves) ,
w. = the unit weight of the ith parameter, a
number between 0 and 0.17, and
n = the number of parameters.
In the WQI expression (Equation 1), n = 9 and includes:
dissolved oxygen (DO), expressed as percent
saturation
fecal coliform density (FC), no./lOO ml
- pH
- nitrates (NO3), mg/1 NO3-N
- phosphates (PO.) , mg/1 PO4-P
- 5 day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD_), mg/1
temperature (T), °C departure from equilibrium*
- total solids (TS), mg/1, and
turbidity, JTU (Jackson turbidity units)
*"Equilibrium" temperature is defined as that which is known
to occur without the influence of heated or cooled discharge.
In field application of WQI, two temperatures are taken:
12
-------
one at the sampling site and one at some point upstream where
heated or cooled discharge is known to be absent.
For samples from stations known to include pesticides or
toxic elements, laboratory analysis of these constituents is
required. When any level exceeds its maximum permissible
limit, the index is automatically "zero."
Field Evaluation
Progress in developing WQI was first reported in a paper
presented at the National Symposium on Data and Instrumenta-
tion for Water Quality Management, held in Madison, Wisconsin
in July 1970 (8). Consistent with the concern that WQI be
used responsibly, data from the quality curves (q.) were not
made available in this presentation. In response to requests
for q. data, NSF proposed that field application of WQI be
undertaken as a coordinated effort. As a result, water
quality management agencies (listed in Table 3) reported
laboratory data to NSF from routine surveillance programs
at more than 80 sites for periods up to 15 months. Again,
this activity was entirely unsponsored. Site selection and
sampling frequency were, in general, a function of availa-
bility of staff and fiscal resources within the partici-
pating agency. Data for the nine parameters in WQI were
reported monthly; WQI's were calculated at NSF and returned
to each participant.
A wide variety of quality characteristics were reflected in
the data. Samples were taken from clean, upper reaches of

small streams, downstream from municipal wastewater treat-
ment plants and points of industrial waste discharge, and
lakes with seasonally diverse population densities. Results
of the study showed clearly that quality variations are con-
sistent with - and can be reported by - changes in WQI.
They illustrated dramatically the fallacy of reporting
quality variations in terms of changes in single parameter
values. For example, at one station in Pennyslvania, down-
stream from two overloaded package wastewater treatment
plants, least squares regression analysis of the data from
40 samples taken during the period July 1971 to August 1972
established that approximately 87% of the variation in WQI
(R2=0.8695) was determined by DO, BOD5, pH, and total solids.
At a station further downstream, just below the discharge
from a mine pump, 92% (R2=0.9169) of the WQI was determined
by fecal coliform density, pH, and phosphates.
Quality profiles from three stations on a Michigan stream
with recreational lakes scattered throughout the area re-
flected changes attributed to high density vacation popula-
tions. Flow patterns and mixing characteristics of treated
wastewater effluent from a large city in Michigan were
observed by plotting WQI values from stations on both sides
of the receiving stream, above and below the treatment plant.
These data are described in detail in a paper presented at
the ASCE National Meeting on Water Resources Engineering (9),
and in the final report prepared for each participant in the
study (10) .
Further Efforts to Evaluate WQI
Despite the apparent responsiveness of WQI to changes in
water quality conditions, analysis of data from the field
15
-------
study suggested that the additive WQI lacked sensitivity in
adequately reflecting the effect of a single low value para-
meter on overall water quality. Initially, the additive
model was selected because it is conceptually simple, easy
to calculate, and entirely reproducible. O'Connor noted
that, "the additive model is a good choice when all parameters
are within a reasonable range, but a multiplicative form is
more sensitive to discontinuities in overall quality which
may result with zero or poor quality in any parametric
dimension. " (11 )
As a result, a multiplicative form of WQI was proposed ( 9 ):
n w.
WQI(M) IT q. x (2)
where WQI(M) = the multiplicative water quality index,
a number between 0 and 100 (theoretical),
q. = the quality of the ith parameter, a
number between 0 and 100,
w. = the unit weight of the ith parameter,
a number between 0 and 0.17, and
n = the number of parameters.
To determine relative merits of adopting the additive WQI
(WQI(A)) versus WQI(M) historical data for both "good" and
"poor" quality stream conditions were accessed from STORET.
WQI(A) and WQI(M) were calculated for all data and differ-
ences in the two values evaluated with respect to physical
conditions known to exist at each reported site. Again, a
wide variety of quality conditions were considered: up-
stream and downstream from refineries, steel mills, and
16
-------
municipal wastewater treatment plants. Data influenced by
industrial wastes were significantly different when reported
as WQI(A) versus WQI(M). As expected, WQI(M) was signifi-
cantly more sensitive to the effect of a single bad para-
meter .
In addition to evaluating historical data, a questionnaire
was mailed to 160 water quality management experts - more
tnan 70 who participated in developing WQI, and others
assumed to be new to the concept. The questionnaire was
designed to determine, 1) how water quality ratings assigned
by the experts related to WQI(A) versus WQI(M), and 2) whether
or not original group judgement differed significantly from
the opinions of other water quality experts.
Values for each of the nine WQI parameters in 20 actual
stream samples - data from the Kansas study, the initial
evaluation of WQI in Pennsylvania, Michigan, etc., and
data accessed from STORET - were included in the question-
naire . The experts were asked to review the data for each
individual sample and return both a numerical (0 to 100)
and a verbal ("excellent," "good," "medium," "bad," or
"very bad") rating which, in their judgement, described
the quality of that sample.
More than 100 responses were returned, with 30 from the
original group. Results of the survey to date indicate that:
1) Calculation of WQI by the additive
model produces a number which averages
10 to 15 WQI units higher than experts
judgementally rate the same water. The
difference is greatest at the low end
of the scale.
17
-------
2) Calculation of WQI by the multipli-
cative model produces a number which
averages 6 WQI units different,
distributed above and below the ex-
perts' judgemental ratings.
3) There is no significant difference
between the way original and new
expert panelists rate water quality.
Although results of this survey are not yet complete, it is
clear that the multiplicative WQI is closely related to ex-
pert judgement of water quality conditions. NOTE: Be.eau.4e,

SECTION IV
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Objectives
Principal objectives of this project were to:
1) Apply WQI to selected sites in the
Kansas River Basin through a com-
prehensive field sampling and labora-
tory analysis program, and
2) Evaluate the effectiveness and
utility of WQI as an indicator of
water quality variations.
Secondary objectives included determining optimum frequencies
for sampling, computing, and reporting WQI.
Study Area
The main stem of the Kansas River originates at the confluence
of the Republican and Smoky Hill Rivers, east of Junction
City, and empties into the Missouri River 170 miles to the
east at Kansas City. It is a wide, shallow river of moderate
velocity with a shifting sand bottom. In terms of flow, it
is the largest stream in Kansas.
Treated municipal wastes from more than 40 cities and towns
ranging in population from 106 to 123,000, and effluents
from at least 20 small wastewater treatment plants serving
restaurants, mobile home parks, high schools, etc. are
discharged to the Kansas River (12). The largest city,
Kansas City, is heavily industrial; Topeka and Lawrence are
19
-------
characterized by light industry (principally food and
kindred products, printing and publishing, fabricated metal
products, and chemical processing). Other portions of the
study area are essentially rural-agricultural, with river
valleys commonly devoted to truck farming, and hilly areas,
to pasturelands.
Selection of this area for application of WQI was a direct
result of the high level of interest which water quality
administrators in the area continue to express for the index
concept in general, and WQI in particular. Administrative
and technical staffs from EPA Region VII and the Kansas
Department of Health contributed extensively to planning and
conducting the project.
Sampling Sites
Twenty-six sites between Junction City and Kansas City - 14
on the Kansas River and 12 on major tributaries - were
sampled for this study. Routine surveillance sites and
stations from previous special studies were included. Inter-
mediate sites were added when long distances occurred be-
tween the regular stations.
Sampling locations are listed in Table 4 and shown schemati-
cally in Figure 1. It is apparent from Figure 1 that flow in
the study area is affected by a number of large impoundments,
constructed for flood control, water supply, conservation,
augmentation of flow for downstream uses, and recreation.
Sampling was limited to sites downstream from the reservoirs.
Sampling Scheme
In designing the sampling program, a principal concern was to

provide a sufficiently large data base to be statistically
significant in the evaluation process. A uniform pattern
was established for sampling nine main stem stations con-
sidered to be critical for reflecting quality variations
(high frequency stations); five main stem and four tributary
stations considered somewhat less critical (medium frequency
stations); and eight tributary stations (low frequency
stations). The high frequency stations were sampled every
other day; medium frequency stations, every fourth day.
Sampling times for these stations were coincident with
every second sample of the high frequency series.
Low frequency stations were sampled every eighth day, with
sampling times coincident with every second sample in the
medium frequency series, and every fourth sample in the high
frequency series. One extra set of the low frequency samples
was included in the schedule to compensate for the period
when no low frequency samples would be collected if the every
eighth day algorithm were strictly observed.
The overall sampling scheme, shown in Appendix B, is sum-
marized as follows:
11 days, 26 stations (9+9+8) = 286 samples
8 days, 18 stations (9+9) = 144 samples
18 days, 9 stations = 162 samples
TOTAL 592 samples
The desirability of reflecting day to day variation was also
considered in designing the sampling schedule. Sampling
every second, fourth, or eighth day over an eight week period
insured that at least one sample would be taken from each
station on each day of the week. Variations which could be
attributed to morning versus afternoon sampling times were
26
-------
considered by varying the direction of sampling; i.e., east
to west or west to east, according to a predetermined pattern.
To optimize mileage logged for sampling, two sample collectors
worked on the project. One, based in Kansas City, routinely
sampled stations numbered 1 through 12; the other, based in
Topeka, sampled stations 13 through 26, always in numerical
order; e.g., 1 through 12 or 12 through 1. On high frequency
sampling days, one man collected all nine samples. The
Topeka-based collector worked on "west to east days," and
the Kansas City-based collector worked on "east to west days."
Time of travel for sample collectors ranged from five to
eight hours in accordance with the predetermined daily
schedule.

SECTION V
EXPERIMENTAL
Sample Collection and Preparation
Samples were collected from the downstream side of bridges,
approximately midway across the stream and from a depth of
two feet (except when river staging was too low to permit
sampling at this depth). Bacteriological samples were col-
lected in sterile bottles and iced for transport to the
EPA Region VII laboratory in Kansas City, Kansas, which
served as project headquarters. Samples for physical and
chemical analyses were collected with an APHA-type DO
sampler, dropped three times at each station. One, 300 ml
BOD bottle was filled in the sampler, fixed in the field,
and returned to the laboratory in a dark box for measurement
of DO by the Winkler method. Excess sample was placed in
two, one liter cubitainers and iced for transport. Tempera-
ture was measured in the field.
Sample preservation and maximum holding periods were in
accordance with those described in Standard Methods (13) or
the EPA Methods Manual (14). Maximum time lapse between
collection and receipt of samples at the laboratory was six
hours.
At the laboratory, DO titrations, BOD dilutions, and all
bacteriological samples were processed immediately. Approxi-
mately 800 ml was removed from one cubitainer for the BOD
test. The excess was preserved with mercuric chloride (Hg
Cl?, 1%) and refrigerated for subsequent analysis of nutrients
(NO...+NO,,, NH_, and PO,) . A sample from the second cubitainer
was placed in a four ounce bottle, preserved with HC1 (2 ml),
28
-------
and refrigerated prior to shipping to Ann Arbor for measuring
TOC. Excess sample was refrigerated overnight (approximately
12 hours) at 4°C. The following morning, it was warmed to
25°C, mixed by inversion, and used for immediate determination
of pH, conductivity, and turbidity. The excess was again
refrigerated for subsequent chloride, solids (total and
suspended), and COD analyses. A schematic illustration of
sample distribution and preparation is shown in Figure 2.
Methods
Seventeen parameters were measured in the laboratory - the
nine in WQI and eight closely related parameters - to deter-
mine the validity of term substitution in the index expres-
sion. (The eight additional parameters included: suspended
solids, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon
(TOC), total coliform density, and fecal streptococci.)
Analytical procedures were performed in accordance with
Standard Methods (13 ) or the EPA Methods Manual (14) . The
specific methods used in this study are shown in Table 5.
Quality control procedures were employed routinely throughout
the laboratory phase of this project. EPA analytical refer-
ence standards for all parameters were included at random
with routine analyses. Instruments were standardized regularly
before and during each use. In general, quality control
procedures were performed in accordance with the EPA Handbook
for Water and Wastewater Laboratories (15).

SECTION VI
RESULTS
WQI(A) and WQI(M) were calculated for all sampling days ex-
cept October 6 when aliquots prepared for NO_-f-N02 (and NH_)
were accidentally discarded. In all calculations, temperature,
expressed as degrees C departure from equilibrium, was
assumed to be zero. No effects of heated or cooled dis-
charge were known to occur at any sampling station included
in the study. Two temperatures were taken during the early
sampling runs - one at the site and one upstream - to confirm
this hypothesis.
Data for each of the 17 individual parameters and time of
sampling are shown by station in Appendix C (Tables C-l
through C-26). Flow, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey
from gauging stations in the study area, are also reported
in tables in Appendix C. WQI(A), WQI(M), and quality ratings
(q.) for each parameter in WQI are reported by station in
the tables (D-l through D-26) in Appendix D. Note that
temperature q. is consistently reported as 94.9 as a result
of assuming zero degrees departure from equilibrium for all
samples.
Summary statistics for each variable in WQI(A), including
the number of analyses (n), arithmetic mean, standard de-
viation, standard error of the mean, minimum, and maximum
values are shown in Appendix E (Tables E-l through E-26) for
each individual station.
In Appendix F (Figures F-l through F-26) , WQI(A) is plotted
versus time (date) of sampling for each station.
Water quality index profiles - WQI(A) versus distance - are
shown in Appendix G (Figures G-l through G-36). Note that
35
-------
distances (station locations) are approximate in this series
of figures. River stations are connected by solid line;
tributary WQI's are shown as individual points, not connected
to the solid line. Numbers near the data points refer to
flow, in cfs, recorded at USGS gauging stations at the time
of sampling.

SECTION VII
DISCUSSION
Quality Variations
Deininger reported that values +5 WQI are significantly dif-
ferent, and "WQI is probably sensitive down to a two point
difference"(16). In discussing the data from this study
variations +5 WQI(A) or WQI(M) are assumed to be significant.
Mean values for WQI(A) and WQI(M) at all stations over the
entire period of observation are plotted in Figure 3. Main
stem stations are connected by a solid line and tributary
stations are shown as isolated points, as described in the
legend. From the data in Figure 3, it is apparent that
quality in the main river showed no significant variation
over the study period when expressed as mean WQI(A) (range
65-68), and varied only slightly as mean WQI(M) (range 51-58).
The quality at Willard, Lawrence, and Paxico was significantly
better than at Eudora or Topeka, and at Willard, it also
exceeded the quality at the James Street station in Kansas
City (as WQI(M)).
The greater range and sensitivity of WQI(M) is further il-
lustrated in Figures 4 and 5 (mean, high, and low WQI(A) and
WQI(M), respectively, for main river stations) and Figures
6 and 7 (mean, high, and low WQI(A) and WQI(M) for tributaries).
The effect of one or two unusually "bad" parameters is ap-
parent by visual comparison of the range of WQI values re-
ported for the Delaware River (Figures 6 and 7). This was
the "best" quality tributary over the period of observation.
In the sample taken on November 13th, turbidity and fecal
coliforms were unusually high - 140 JTU and 2900/100 ml,
respectively. The highest turbidity level in any other Delaware

River sample was 40 JTU; the mean for all other samples was
15.5 (JTU) (Table C-12, Appendix C) . Expressed as q.^, a
turbidity of 140 JTU equals 5.00; a turbidity of 40 JTU
equals 44.7 (Table D-12, Appendix D). Fecal coliform density
in the Delaware on November 13th was 2900/100 ml. The mean
of all other samples was 202/100 ml. Expressed as q. ,
these values are 14.6 and 34.8, respectively. Other
unusually high data for this sample are not included in the
WQI expression; e.g., suspended solids and total coliforms.
Comparison of the range of WQI values shown in Figures 6 and
7 for the Delaware River demonstrate the improved sensitivity
of WQI(M) for treating unusually bad parameter values.
The maximum is the same in both figures, the mean/ only
slightly less for WQI(M), but the low WQI(M) is significantly
lower than the lowest WQI(A).
Data from Figures 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are summarized in Table 6.
Willard, the "best quality" Kansas River station, is a small
town (population 94) about midway between Paxico and Topeka.
Small creeks discharge to the Kansas River between Paxico and
Willard, but there is no reason to expect any of them to
contribute significant pollutional loadings. The Willard
location was sampled principally because of the long distance
between Paxico and Topeka.
"Best" tributary quality was recorded from the Delaware and
Big Blue Rivers, discharging from Perry and Tuttle Creek
Reservoirs, respectively. Because reservoir retention pro-
vides time for self purification and sedimentation, the
quality at these stations was expected to be consistently
high.
"Poorest" quality in the main river occurred at the station
near Eudora, just downstream from Lawrence, and at Topeka.
"Poorest" quality in a tributary was observed in Shunganunga
Creek. Quality variations at the Eudora station result

principally from municipal and separate industrial waste
discharges in the Lawrence area. (Wastes from Eudora are
discharged to the Wakarusa River which enters the Kansas
just downstream from the Eudora station.) Lawrence dis-
charges 4.57 mgd directly to the Kansas River from a primary
plant treating a waste of 45,700 population equivalent,
with contributions from at least nine industries including
organic dyes and inks, blood, and various food processing
wastes. Industrial wastes discharged directly to the
Kansas River include: an electric utility (.01 mgd treated
by extended aeration plus .43 mgd cooling water), an
industrial and agricultural chemical company (500 gpm of
untreated process wastes containing phosphates, suspended
solids, and hexavalent chromium), and a paper and container
board company (900 gpm of treated wastes containing sus-
pended solids, sulfates, and organics with a mean BOD of
80 mg/1.
Topeka is the second largest city in the study area, and
discharges both municipal and industrial wastes directly
to the main river. The principal municipal wastewater
treatment plant is located downstream from the Topeka
sampling location and would not be expected to have an
affect on quality at this point. A smaller plant (designed
for 12,500 P.E. and loaded at approximately 1000 P.E.) up-
stream from the sampling location discharges its effluent
along the north bank of the river and would likely not be
well mixed with water in the river at the referenced
sampling point. It may be reasonable to assume that either
an unidentified direct industrial waste discharge or storm
water from Topeka contributed to the relatively low mean
WQI value observed at the Topeka location. Storm water
discharge and effluents from the wastewater treatment
plant serving Forbes Air Force Base may also contribute
45
-------
significantly to the observed mean WQI for Shunganunga
Creek, which flows through the City of Topeka.
The main stem station with the widest range of reported WQI
was at Lecompton, just downstream from the point where the
Delaware River discharges to the Kansas, and downstream from
Topeka. The Delaware contributes good quality flows to the
Kansas with discharges from Perry Reservoir; however, it
appears that the main river may be stratified at the
Lscompton station and that the stratification line may
change as a function of relative flows in the two streams.
Thus samples collected from midstream may have been in
different strata at various times of sampling. Least
variation in main stream stations was observed in Kansas
City at 7th Street.

Figure 8. Initial and final WQI(A) values for all sampling stations.
-------
Although no significant variation in quality expressed a,s
mean WQI(A) is demonstrated in the main river over the en-
tire sampling period, short term variations are apparent
from the figures in Appendices F and G. WQI(A) versus time
is plotted for each station in Figures F-l through F-26
(Appendix F), and profiles, WQI(A) versus distance, are
shown for each sampling day in Figures G-l through G-36
(Appendix G). In Appendix G, main stem stations are con-
nected by solid lines, tributary stations are shown as
isolated points, and flow, from USGS gauging stations, by
numbers (as cfs) near the quality designations.
In general, the quality of tributaries is better than that
in the main stream (Appendix G); however, Mill and Shungan-
unga Creeks are frequent exceptions. (Two "Mill" Creek
sampling stations are included in the study. These were
on two separate creeks, one considerably east (upstream)
of the other. Reference to "Mill Creek" quality in the
previous statement relates to the creek to the east, near
Kansas City.) Bridge construction near the Mill Creek
station may have affected the data acquired at this location.
From the figures in Appendix F, it is apparent that quality
in rivers and tributaries does vary between sampling periods,
and that these variations can be expressed as WQI. This
single number expression of nine important water quality
parameters is much more meaningful than similar plots of
single parameter values, and provides a sound basis for
water quality management decision making.
Short term variations at individual stations are shown in the
data plotted in Appendix F. The quality changed significantly
(+5 WQI units) from sample to sample six times in the main
river at Kansas City-James Street (10-14/16, 10-20/22,
10-22/24, 11-07/09, 11-11/13, 11-15/17), and nine times at

Lecompton (10-02/04, 11-11/13, 11-15/17, 11-19/21, 11-23/25,
11-27/29, 11-29/12-02, 12-02/03, 12-03/05). Lecompton was
the high frequency station previously reported (Table 6) to
be "most variable" on the main river. Most of the variation
occurred late in the study. Every other sample from
November 09-23, and every sample from November 23-December 05
was significantly different from the sample taken either
just before - or just after -, or both. Four individual
parameters - PO., total solids, turbidity, and BOD5 - varied
appreciably during this period.
Data from Kansas river stations at Topeka and Lecompton and
from tributary stations discharging between these two main
river stations - Soldier Creek (which receives industrial
wastes from a rubber company), Shunganunga Creek, and
the Delaware River - are plotted in Figure 9. Data only
from days on which all stations were sampled are included.
The upstream station, Topeka, is shown in the open circle,
solid line format, and the downstream station, Lecompton,
in the closed circle, solid line format. The ability
of WQI to reflect the effect of tributary contributions
on overall quality of the main stream is demonstrated
in this figure. During the period 09-26 to 10-04,
downstream quality was significantly altered by the rela-
tively poor quality discharged from Shunganunga Creek. Flow
in the creek was so low at the time of sampling on 10-04 that
the sample depth was two inches (routinely two feet), thus
temperature was high; percent DO saturation, low; fecal
coliform density, high; etc. Flow in the main stream was
also relatively low during this period, thus the apparent
effect of the tributary contribution was dramatic. Downstream
quality improved on 10-12, apparently as a result of rainfall
that provided dilution, and the release of high quality water
from Perry Reservoir, and peaked on 10-20 with good quality
contributions from all tributary sources. Conversely,

quality dropped in all the tributaries on 11-13, and
downstream quality again reflected these changes. Flow on
this date was relatively high at all stations - from 1800 cfs
on 11-05 at Topeka to 4000 cfs on 11-13; 150 cfs on 11-05 on
the Delaware River to 500 on 11-13; 40 cfs on Soldier Creek
to 3000 cfs; and 2600 cfs to 5200 cfs at Lecompton. It
would appear that these flows had a scouring effect on the
streams which reflected in calculated values of WQI. Flows
recorded for Topeka, the Delaware River, and Lecompton
between the intervals shown in Figure 9 continued to increase,
then became relatively consistent for Lecompton; e.g.,
11-15, 12,000 cfs; 11-17, 10,000 cfs; 11-19, 9600 cfs;
11-21, 8000 cfs; 11-23, 7400 cfs; 11-25, 7400 cfs; 11-27,
7700 cfs (from Table C-ll, Appendix C) - until peak quality
was observed on 11-29. With some basic knowledge of the
sampling sites, flow characteristics, etc., it is possible
to explain the apparent trends in Figure 9, and to use this
information to predict future effects of changes in quality
at these locations. WQI provides an ideal method for
presenting overall quality variations as a function of
time and distance. No single parameter data could be used
in achieving similar objectives.
Frequency of Sampling, Computing, and Reporting WQI
In determining optimum sampling frequency, "true mean" and
"true standard deviation" were computed for the largest data
base available; i.e., WQI values for the nine high frequency
stations. For every station (i) in this group, there were
thirty-seven WQI values [W. , W. , W. . . . , W. ] which
1,1 1,2 1/3 1/37
refer to every other sampling day (1, 3, "5, 7..., 37) during
51
-------
the study.
The data record was then divided in half by arranging the
WQI's into two sets. Consecutive values in each set now
refer to samples taken four days (d) apart; i.e.,
II
Mean (M. , and M. ) and percent deviation (PD., and PD. )
1 12 1 3-2
from the mean were calculated for each of these two sets.
To estimate deviation from the true mean if samples were taken
every fourth rather than every second day, average percent
deviation was calculated. The steps are summarized as
follows:
1) [W. , W. , W. ..., W. ] -> TM. and TSD. (3)
1/1 1,2 1,3 1,37 1 1
where i = station 1, 2, 3,...9
W = WQIi...WQI37 at station i
TM = true mean
TSD = true standard deviation

This process was continued for three through 19 sets
of sub records; i.e., percent deviation of mean WQI was
estimated for samples taken every fourth, sixth, eighth. . .
fortieth day versus the "true mean" experienced with sampling
every second day. Using this approach, the lowest percent
deviation from the true mean occurred for samples taken every
sixth day for six of the nine stations.
For all nine stations, twenty-day sampling frequencies
provided WQI values with less than (<) 2% average deviation
from the mean. If this is sufficient accuracy for routine
surveillance programs in the study area, the every twenty-
day sampling scheme should be adopted. Results of this
analysis are shown in Table 7.
The practice of calculating WQI each time data for all nine
parameters are available is recommended. With calculators
and computers generally available, calculation of WQI is a
simple "next step" in processing water quality data. Hand
calculation, though more tedious, is also manageable.
The optimum frequency for reporting WQI is a function of
variations in data which may occur as a result of local

conditions. The duration of the field sampling phase of this
study was too short to reflect seasonal variations, and im-
properly timed to be coincident with high temperature, low
flow conditions. A firm recommendation for frequency of
reporting WQI should be made only when these additional data
are available for consideration. Review of statistical data
(Appendix E) from the period of observation suggests that
reporting only once every three months or more is sufficient
to indicate water quality conditions during the fall months.
By applying least squares regression, four parameters were
shown to account for more than 90% of the variance in
WQI over the period of observation. Results of these
analyses are summarized in Table 8. The summary is grouped
to include 1) all data and 2) all main stem river stations.
Although the same four parameters are indicated in both
groups of data, variation in their relative importances is
noted. By difference, it is apparent that fecal coliform
density accounts for most of the variance in quality at
tributary stations but is a considerably less important
parameter at river stations. Although there is no adequate
substitute for adopting a uniform method of reporting water
quality, this information, when related to costs for labora-
tory analysis of each parameter, is useful in planning
routine data acquisition programs. In reporting WQI all
nine parameters in the expression must be measured. However,
more frequent analysis of fewer parameters may be used to
show intermittent trends in stream quality, particularly at
critical locations.

SECTION VIII
SPECIAL STUDIES
Parameter Correlations
In field application of WQI, the feasibility of parameter
substitution is frequently discussed. To establish the
effect of modifying parameters, as well as reducing the
number of total parameters in the index expression, labora-
tory analysis in this study was extended to include 15
parameters for all samples, and 17 parameters on 11 pre-
determined sampling days. Analytical data for all samples
included the following measurements:
all nine parameters in WQI, plus
- conductivity, ymhos/cm
- suspended solids, mg/1
ammonia, mg/1 NH-.-N
chlorides, mg/1
total coliform density, 1/100 ml
fecal streptococci, #/100 ml
Analytical data for samples collected on 9-28, 10-6, 10-10,
10-18, 10-26, 11-3, 11-11, 11-15, 11-19, 11-27, and 12-5
included two additional parameters:
chemical oxygen demand (COD), mg/1 and
total organic carbon (TOC), mg/1.
Correlation coefficients for eight selected pairs of para-
meters are shown in Table 9: total solids versus conduc-
tivity, total solids versus suspended solids, turbidity
versus suspended solids, fecal coliforms versus total coli-
forms, and fecal coliforms versus fecal streptococci.

In each pair, the parameter in WQI is listed first; the
related parameter follows.
Data are grouped to include all data, and all main river
stations, with correlation coefficients expressed at 95 and
99 percent levels of confidence.
The degree of correlation at 95 and 99 percent confidence
levels was determined for each individual station included
in the study. These data are summarized in Table 10. Re-
sults of individual station correlation are shown in
Appendix H. From the summary (Table 10), it is apparent
that suspended solids can be substituted for turbidity
measurements, and total coliforms for fecal coliforms with
a high level of confidence. Other parameters were not
shown to be closely related.
Hourly Variations
One twenty-four-hour study was undertaken on November 6,
1972 from the 7th Street Bridge in Kansas City. Samples
were taken every two hours and brought to the laboratory
for measurement of the nine parameters in WQI. Data
for each individual parameter and the WQI's are listed
in Table 11. No significant variations in WQI occurred
during this period; however, the data may have been
affected by heavy rainfall at 1000, 1200, and 1400 hours
and light rain at 1600 and 1800 hours. Flow rate was not
measured, thus actual effects of the rainfall are not
determined. It is entirely possible that flow patterns
for storm water discharge followed the banks too closely
for detection at midstream, where samples for this study

were obtained. There is no reason to assume that
sampling or analytical errors contributed to the uniform
quality reflected in reported WQI.
Transverse and Vertical Variations
On December 5 and 8, 1972, samples were taken from a boat to
reflect transverse and vertical variations in Kansas River
quality at the Kansas City-7th Street sampling station. A
profile of the stream at this station is shown in Figure 10.
Sampling sites for both studies are indicated on the profile.
Points lr 3, and 5 are two feet below the water surface.
Point 2 is six feet, Point 4 is seven feet, and Point 6 is
eight feet below the surface.
On December 5th, beginning at 0830 hours, samples were taken
in sequence from each of the six points indicated in Figure 10
A single bottle Dunker sampler, flamed at the inlet tube and
in the chamber with a propane torch, was used for sampling.
Sampling was repeated at each point in sequence beginning
at 1000 hours and again at 1100 hours. Microbiological data
obtained from this study are reported in Table 12.
In a similar study on December 8th, two sets of samples
were taken at approximately three hour intervals from the
same six points, beginning at about 1000 hours. These
samples were analyzed for the nine parameters in WQI.
Samples for fecal coliforms were taken with a flamed
Dunker sampler. Samples for all other parameters were
obtained in a Kemmerer sampler and transported to the
laboratory in cubitainers. Data from this study are shown
in Table 13. Little if any significant change is apparent
over the period of observation.

Biological Sampling
At the outset of this project, it seemed desirable to attempt
to relate biological data to WQI by installing rock filled
sampling baskets at various locations in the stream and
observing the diversity of species which collected on the
rocks over a period of six weeks. On October 17, 1972, five
sets (two each) of baskets were installed: one set in the
Kansas River at Lecompton, one at Willard, two at Fort Riley,
and one in Soldier Creek. Within the first week, all but
two sets, at Lecompton and Willard, were vandalized. These
two sets remained intact and were retrieved on November 28th.
The organisms which persisted are identified in Appendix I.
The sample size was too small for statistical analysis of
species diversity, richness, evenness, redundancy, dominance,
etc.; however, the taxa identified can be said to represent
a stable community composed of predators, filter feeders,
grazers, and other omnivores. The diversity of this
community and its food and feeding habits would characterize
the following conditions of its aquatic environment:
1) Fairly rapidly'moving water (0.6-1.5 ft/sec.)
which contains phytoplankton, detached algae,
and other suspended materials,
2) Bottom composed mostly of rubble, gravel,
and some sand which is covered with
periphyton (attached algae) and aquatic
moss,
3) Oxygen levels usually above 80% saturation.
This is particularly true of water at
Willard where three species of stoneflies
(Plecoptera) were found. (This group
66
-------
usually is the first to be eliminated
when oxygen concentration is decreased.)
4) Turbidity (silt, shifting sand) rela-
tively low at Willard during this
period of observation. Stoneflies
(Plecoptera) and mayflies (Ephemerop-
tera) are well represented.
5) A more stable community at Willard
than that at Lecompton, suggesting
better water quality at Willard. This
observation is supported by WQI(M)
calculation reported in Table 6.

16. Abstracts
Nat.0nal San1tation Foundation's (NSF) Water Quality Index (WQI) is an
empirical expression which integrates nine significant physical, chemical, and micro-
biological parameters of water quality into a single number to provide a uniform,
consistent, and comprehensible term for measuring and reporting water quality.
To demonstrate the responsiveness of WQI to variations in water quality and to
determine optimum frequencies for computing and reporting WQI, a comprehensive field
sampling, laboratory analysis, and data management program was developed for applying
WQI to selected sites on the Kansas River and its major tributaries. Seventeen
parameters were measured (the nine in WQI and eight related parameters) on nearly 600
samples from 26 sites (14 main stem and 12 tributary). Parameters most responsible
for quality variation in both main stem and tributary stations were identified by
least squares regression. Results indicated that the NSF Water Quality Index (WQI)
is an effective method for measuring and reporting overall quality variations in th
Kansas River. __ _ _ _ ___ _
