To determine the key water quality indicators for influencing the Weihe River tributaries of Chanhe, Bahe, Fenghe and Zaohe Rivers and the minimum water quality index (WWQImin) is of great significance for simplifying water quality evaluation. The research set up a total of 30 sampling points in the 4 rivers and collected water quality samples in April, August, and December 2019, respectively. Fifteen water quality indicators were analyzed by laboratory experiment and mathematical statistics. It was found that the content of DO in Fenghe River was obviously highest, and the contents of EC and nitrite in Zaohe River and the Bahe River reach after the convergence of Chanhe River were higher than other rivers. In addition, based on 15 water quality indicators, the water quality index (WWQI) was calculated to evaluate the temporal and spatial changes of water quality of the 4 rivers. This study shows that the water quality indices were generally above the medium level (WWQI≥51) in all four rivers, and the water quality of the Fenghe River was better among the four rivers. On time scale, the water quality in the spring of 2019 was better than the other two periods. Besides, stepwise multiple linear regression analysis and empirical method were used to determine the appropriate minimum water quality index (WWQImin), which contains DO, ammonia nitrogen, CODMn, turbidity, nitrate nitrogen, $\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}$, and EC. Compared with the WWQI based on 15 water quality indicators, the relative error (PPE) is only 4.78%, the linear correlation coefficient R2 reaches 0.95, and the root mean square error (RRMSE) is only 3.99. Finally, the spatial and temporal distribution of WWQI and the appropriate WWQImin in the 4 rivers are consistent. Therefore, it can be considered that the selected appropriate WWQImin can be replaced of WQI, which is more efficient for time-saving, low-cost and high-efficiency water quality evaluation in the basin near the Chanhe, Bahe, Fenghe and Zaohe Rivers.
