Abstract:In this study, an epithermal goldfields‐water quality index (EGF‐WQI) and the associated classification system have been proposed to define drinking water quality of the water resources in regions where epithermal gold mineralization exists. In this context, two hydrogeochemical data sets from 15 water resources are used. EGF‐WQI is designed using 21 different criteria under 4 main groups and 15 alternatives. To determine the importance and efficiency values of the criteria, analytical hierarchy method (AHP) i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
