Danube River is the main source of drinking water for Galati City urban agglomeration (300000 inhabitants). This study focused on calculated water quality index (WQI) from Danube river nearby Galati city. Water quality index indicates the water quality taking into consideration physic chemical parameters. The purpose was to assess the quality of raw water during a spring season. Water samples from the Danube River were collected and physic-chemical parameters including pH, electrical conductivity, turbidity, total alkalinity, total hardness, total dissolved solids, nitrates, dissolved oxygen and biological oxygen demand were measured.
