Abstract

The planktonic diatom related index for assessing water quality was evaluated. The indexes for the planktonic diatoms and the benthic diatoms in the water of West River in Guangxi were compared. The same method was used in samples in June and September. There were significant difference in the indexes of each simpling site between the planktonic diatom and the benthic diatom. But there were insignificant difference in samples in June and September. Thus, it is useful for water quality monitoring to use the method that combining the planktonic diatom related indexes and the benthic ones.
