Abstract:

In the Ambient Water Quality Criteria for Dissolved Oxygen, Water Clarity and Chlorophyll a for the Chesapeake Bay and Its Tidal Tributaries (U.S. EPA 2007), the cumulative frequency diagram (CFD) approach was introduced. The CFD-based water quality criteria assessment methodology offers the potential for significant benefit in assessing the target bay water quality criteria attainment. We checked up some statistical properties of this method. In the result, redefinition of the CFD-based water quality criteria assessment methodology is implemented in an effective and efficient manner. We present some relevant statistical methods of the CFD-based water quality criteria assessment. Some analytic results for the Bay data in Japan are represented in this study.
