Comparison of river and drinking water quality of infiltration intakes based on statistical colour data by Yalaletdinova Alina, Malkova Maria, Vozhdaeva Margarita, Serebryakov Pavel, Kantor Evgeny

“…A significant contribution (79 to 89%) to the variation of the indicator in drinking water is made by random variable. Correlation coefficients calculated from monthly averages revealed a weak relationship (on the Cheddock scale) between river and drinking water colour, whereas correlation coefficients calculated from monthly averages of colour in the model year characterise the relationship at IWI1 as high and very high at IWI2. …”
