Dry year (1995/96): General Quality Assessment (GQA) data for river section 'River Rea to Water Orton Bridge'
What is GQA data and what does it mean?
GQA stands for General Quality Assessment. The GQA grade is a measure of how clean the water is in the river.
- The GQA grade is shown as a letter of the alphabet.
- A GQA grade of A means that the quality of the water is very good. Sections of the river with this grade will be quite natural and probably full of fish.
- A GQA grade of F means that the water quality is bad. Sections of the river with this grade are very polluted and probably support very little wildlife.
