Abstract

The biological indicators are rarely used in CCME WQI, for the objective thresholds of most biological indicators are ambiguous. To solve this problem, this study establishes an improved CCME WQI model based on variable fuzzy set theory. The water quality of Wuli Lake is assessed as an illustration; and the result shows that its water quality condition is “fair”, and more measures should be adopted to control the internal phosphorus releasing and the reproduction of cyanobacteria in summer and autumn. Moreover, compared with the conventional CCME CQI, the improved CCME WQI is more comprehensive, for it not only takes the aquatic physic-chemical condition into consideration, but also introduces the biological indicators into evaluation.
