BIOTIC INDICES TO EVALUATE WATER QUALITY: BMWP
Journal Title: International Journal of Environment, Ecology, Family and Urban Studies (IJEEFUS) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
From a bibliographic analysis of the major published research studies about the index values used to evaluate water quality, the general characteristics of the so-called Biological Monitoring Working Party (BMWP) index are described; the degree of complexity of water quality assessments is measured and the integration of new technologies is analyzed through the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The BMWP index is studied, as well as its applications from 1978 to 2017, specifying its temporal and spatial distribution, its current trends and complementary values. The analysis is based on the application of the Graph Theory, particularly on the Social Networks Analysis (SNA) from a holistic approach.
