The study describes:
The NSFWQI method has easy application and subjective technique.
According to the results of the NSFWQI method, the water quality of the
Sepidrud River from the environmental view was medium station and the ST2.1
station had the best water quality and the GSW5 station was in the worst
condition.
According to the results of the BCWQI method, the water quality of the Se-
pidrud River for drinking purposes was not suitable and needs to be fully
treated. The ST6 and the SSW2 stations were the critics and suitable water
quality, respectively.
Application of BCWQI method showed the river water quality for agriculture
uses was in a medium situation. The ST9 and the SSW2 stations were in critical
and suitable situation, respectively.
Considering the available data, the mentioned methods to de
ne water quality
may be acceptable tools.
