Proportion of monitoring sites in NSW with a Water Quality Index Rating of good, moderate and poor. The Water Quality Index measures the water quality condition of rivers in NSW. It compares monthly water quality results against a set of predetermined water quality targets to calculate a score between 1 and 100. A score of 100 represents a site in pristine condition, while a score of one is a very highly degraded site. Data is collected by the DCCEEW Water Group and published in their Water Quality Reports.
