Multivariate statistical evaluation of dissolved trace elements and a water quality assessment in the middle reaches of Huaihe River, Anhui, China
TLDR
The results of the water quality index (WQI) indicate that water in the Huaihe River is heavily polluted by trace elements, so approximately 96% of the river water is unsuitable for drinking and a health risk assessment suggests that Co, Cd and Pb in the river could cause non-carcinogenic harm to human health.About:

Sediment records of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in Huaihe River, China: Implications for historical production and household usage of PBDE-containing products
TL;DR: Dramatic increase of PBDE concentrations in both three cores since the post-1980s could be attributed to the rapid expansion of production of electronic and telecommunication equipment and household usage in China.

A multivariate statistical approach in assessing the quality of potable and irrigation water environs of the Netravati River basin (India)
Sandhya Sudhakaran,Sandhya Sudhakaran,Harsha Mahadevan,Harsha Mahadevan,Vijayan Arun,Vijayan Arun,Appukuttan Pillai Krishnakumar,Krishnan Anoop Krishnan +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of the tests were compared with the maximum permissible limits proposed by the World Health Organisation drinking water guidelines and highlighted the importance of the application of PCA, WQI and IWQI as standard methods to evaluate the quality of water.

Multivariate statistical evaluation of dissolved heavy metals and a water quality assessment in the Lake Aha watershed, Southwest China
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the sources, temporal-spatial distributions and water quality of dissolved heavy metals (Mn, Co, Al, Ni, Ba, V, Sb, Fe, Sr) in the Lake Aha watershed.

Hydrogeochemical characterizations and quality evaluation of groundwater in the major river basins of a geologically and anthropogenically driven semi-arid tract of India
Indrani Mukherjee,Umesh Singh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the sources and driving factors of the groundwater facies in the five major river basins (viz. Ajay, Mayurakshi, Kopai, Brahmani and Dwarka) of an agroeconomic semi-arid Indian tract through hydrogeochemical and principal component analyses based on 2200 groundwater samples obtained during the pre- and post-monsoon cycles from 1100 wells.

Multivariate statistical techniques for the evaluation of spatial and temporal variations in water quality of Gomti River (India)—a case study
TL;DR: This study presents necessity and usefulness of multivariate statistical techniques for evaluation and interpretation of large complex data sets with a view to get better information about the water quality and design of monitoring network for effective management of water resources.

Application of factor analysis in the assessment of groundwater quality in a blackfoot disease area in Taiwan
TL;DR: The over-extraction of groundwater is the major cause of groundwater salinization and arsenic pollution in the coastal area of Yun-Lin, Taiwan and this model explains over 77.8% of the total groundwater quality variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of seasonal and polluting effects on the quality of river water by exploratory data analysis
TL;DR: In this article, an ANOVA of the rotated principal components has demonstrated that mineral contents are seasonal and climate dependent, thus pointing to a natural origin for this polluting form and pollution by organic matter and nutrients originates from anthropogenic sources, mainly as municipal wastewater.

Ecological risk assessment of heavy metals in sediment and human health risk assessment of heavy metals in fishes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin
TL;DR: Investigation of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China found that heavy metals may be mainly derived from metal processing, electroplating industries, industrial wastewater, and domestic sewage, and Hg may also originate from coal combustion.
