Hi everyone,
I have analyses the on-site and major and trace elements some river water samples , and now I want to calculate several water quality parameters like pollution index, water quality index, metal index, ..etc. In the equations I encountered variables like Si and C0 to calculate the Pi and Cf values. I wonder if they are the same or different meanings. Also can I calculate pollution Loading Index (PLI) for water samples, not the sediments.
Thanks in advance
Please refer :

Well,
Another assessment can be done for variables in water samples, see Canadian manual assessment suggested, CCWQI, in the attached article.
Hi Mohamed,
Yes of course, you can calculate pollution Loading Index (PLI) for water samples by using heavy metal pollution index (HPI), metal index (MI), and degree of contamination (mCd). These are useful and informative measures to evaluate drinking and agriculture water quality and have been extensively used for assessing individual and overall water quality with regard to metals.

Hope this helps.
Hi Mohamed,
yes, you can calculate heavy metal pollution index (HPI) . Please find the paper attached by Al-Hejuje et al (2017 )
