Indexing water pollution in developing nations

ABSTRACT

Due to the lack of environmental education in developing nations, there is a fundamental necessity for the development of a simple and objective WPI. The main purpose of such an index is to convey sophisticated technicalities related to water pollution from professionals to the general public. In this paper, the authors selected and modified the ingredients of a comprehensive [WPI] and then provided a simple scheme to generate a single rating scale for water pollution. A monogram is also included to provide a fast technique for WPI
