Water Quality Assessment and Pollution Source Identification of the Eastern Poyang Lake Basin Using Multivariate Statistical Methods

Multivariate statistical methods including cluster analysis (CA), discriminant analysis (DA) and component analysis/factor analysis (PCA/FA), were applied to explore the surface water quality datasets including 14 parameters at 28 sites of the Eastern Poyang Lake Basin, Jiangxi Province of China, from January 2012 to April 2015, characterize spatiotemporal variation in pollution and identify po...

Water pollution sources assessment by multivariate statistical methods in the Tahtali Basin, Turkey

In this study, multivariate statistical methods including factor, principal component and cluster analysis were applied to surface water quality data sets obtained from the Tahtali River Basin, Turkey. Factor and principal components analysis results revealed that surface water quality was mainly controlled by agricultural uses and domestic discharges. Cluster analysis generated two clusters. B...

Integrating Ecological Restoration of Agricultural Non-Point Source Pollution in Poyang Lake Basin in China

This study addresses the excessive consumption of river basin water from the Poyang Lake area in China. Consumption of water for irrigation, together with the discharge of agricultural non-point source pollution, is seriously affecting the water quality of Poyang Lake. This study assesses the application of integrated ecological restoration technology for agricultural non-point source pollution...

Assessment of water quality in Hussainsagar lake and its inlet channels using multivariate statistical techniques

Application of different multivariate statistical approaches for the interpretation of data obtained during a monitoring programme of Hussainsagar Lake and its catchment area at Hyderabad (India) is presented in this study. The waste water coming from the catchment is being directly discharged in to the lake, forming point and non point sources of contamination of lake water. This study analyze...
