Assessment of Water Quality and Transboundary Transfer
Up one level
8. ASSESSMENT OF WATER QUALITY AND TRANSBOUNDARY TRANSFER
Water quality is assessed on the basis of the results of transboundary monitoring taking into account measurements of individual indicators (compared with maximum permissible levels (MPL) or target quality indicators) and generalised indicators and indices including hydrobiology indicators that are coordinated between the Dnipro basin countries. Such assessments are made with due regard for the results of inter-laboratory comparative analyses and other measures aimed at ensuring quality measurements.
At Stage 1 of the TMP development, the Water Contamination Index (WCI) is used as a coordinated generalised indicator. A WCI calculation procedure and a basic method of mass transfer computation are given in Appendix III.
