Hypothetical Relationships among P4 + P5 Indicators and Steam Condition
Since Thresholds for Water Quality, for Human Consumption and Aquatic Life, have been Established, they can be used toDetermine Thresholds for P4 and P5 Indicators.By use of GIS and Analytical Models, the Indicator Values observed on P2 and P3 Plots can beAnalyzed using Ecologically-Meaningful Thresholds
