Water is considered as the most important and valuable natural resource on which all life on earth ultimately depends. Water plays an imperative role in the development of different sectors of the economy, including agriculture, cattle production, forestry, industrial electricity generation, fisheries, and other innovative activities. Over the past few decades, the water quality index (WQI) has been considered as an effective tool that provides information on the quality of water for use by concerned citizens and policymakers and has been utilised in surface and groundwater quality evaluation all over the world.
