Long-Term Assessment of Water Quality Index Performance in Three Contrasting River Basins of Lithuania

The Water Quality Index (WQI) is widely applied for long-term monitoring and inter-basin comparison of surface water quality; however, its interpretation may vary depending on basin characteristics and hydrological organization. This study evaluates WQI behaviour in three Lithuanian river basins (Nemunas, Mūša, and Ven...
