monitoring and assessment of a eutrophicated coastal lake using multivariate approaches

چکیده
multivariate statistical techniques such as cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling and principal component analysis were applied to evaluate the temporal and spatial variations in water quality data set generated for two years (2008-2010) from six monitoring stations of veli-akkulam lake and compared with a regional reference lake vellayani of south india. seasonal variations of 14 different physicochemical parameters analyzed were as follows: ph (6.42-7.48), water temperature (26.0-31.28°c), salinity (0.50-26.81 ppt), electrical conductivity (47-20656.31 µs/cm), dissolved oxygen (0.078-7.65 mg/l), free carbon-dioxide (3.8-51.8 mg/l), total hardness (27.20-2166.6 mg/l), total dissolved solids (84.66-4195 mg/l), biochemical oxygen demand (1.57-25.78 mg/l), chemical oxygen demand (5.35-71.14 mg/l), nitrate (0.012-0.321 µg/ml), nitrite (0.24-0.79 µg/ml), phosphate (0.04-5.88 mg/l), and sulfate (0.27-27.8 mg/l). cluster analysis showed four clusters based on the similarity of water quality characteristics among sampling stations during three different seasons (pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon). multidimensional scaling in conjunction with cluster analysis identified four distinct groups of sites with varied water quality conditions such as upstream, transitional and downstream conditions in veli-akkulam lake and a reference condition at vellayani lake. principal component analysis showed that veli-akkulam lake was seriously deteriorated in water quality while acceptable water quality conditions were observed at reference lake vellayani. thus the present study could estimate the effectiveness of multivariate statistical approaches for assessing water quality conditions in lakes.

Monitoring of Water Quality in Lake and Coastal Regions Using Simulated Envisat Meris Data
The spatial and temporal variation of water quality in Finnish lakes and coastal regions is high compared with typical conditions in open sea areas or in large lakes. Both the lake regions and the coastal archipelago consist of small basins or sub-basins isolated from each other by islands and peninsulas. Moreover, Finnish lakes as well as the Northern Baltic sea annually freezes which has a hi...

Broad sandy beaches and extensive dune ridges dominate the Dutch coastal zone. The beach areas are subject to continuous processes as beach erosion and sedimentation, which influence its morphology. This in turn has an economic impact on beach management and public security. Beach nourishments are carried out if safety of the land is at risk. Here the problems are defined as: (1) how to localiz...
