摘要
The following indices for assessing river water quality are described: Shannon-Weiner Diversity Index, Sorenson Quotient of Similarity, Czekanowski's Index of Similarity, Trent Biotic Index, Chandler Score, and BMWP Score. Their advantages and disadvantages are outlined. The indices were used in water quality studies at undergraduate level to assimilate raw sample data, and may also be useful in sixth-form studies.
