Abstract: The NGBI method allows the evaluation of the general quality of a water course through the
macrofauna analysis that is the synthetic expression of general biology. This method allows including the global biologic quality into a general typological range. A NGBI grade can be obtained for every station, whose value shows the water quality level within the analyzed water trunk. Thus, it could be considered that there is pollution when the value of the index is less than 5; for an index value of 6 the toxic character is probable, yet for a value of 10 we could say that the water quality is good, and for the value of 19 the quality is very good.
