Water Quality Monitoring

Water Quality Index

Based on a review of the scientific literature and a statistical analysis of the MRC data, a Water Quality Index has been designed based on a set of key water quality parameters. The Water Quality Index shows the pressure exerted by human activities on the water quality of the Mekong River. The Water Quality Index is calculated each year for 17 stations in the mainstream of the Mekong River from the Northern Lao PDR to the Mekong Delta for 2000-2008.
