- Abstract
The present study proposed an innovative methodology for estimating the Water Quality Index, based on the adoption of minimum and maximum values, defined from the average variation curves of the nine water quality parameters that support the index calculation. The methodology is only valid when one of the parameters has no information. For validation, it was selected as a study case, the tributaries to the Juturnaíba dam, which has the largest reservoir for human supply in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The results were compared with the indexes published by the State Environment Institute. The proposed methodology proved to be valid, and its replication in other rivers is recommended.
