TSI characterizes water’s ability to produce vegetation – higher means more vegetation. 

  • TSI of 0-30 is oligotrophic, where water is clear, phosphorus is low, and algae is limited. 
  • TSI of 40-50 is mesotropic where there is an increase in aquatic vegetation due to more phosphorus in the water. 
  • TSI of greater than 50 is eutrophic with high levels of aquatic vegetation and high levels of phosphorus to support the vegetation.​
