Water Resources and Contamination

In this study the water quality of the study area was analyzed through water quality analysis. The temperature pH electrical conductivity (EC) and salinity of the samples were determined on the site utilizing portable meters (WTW 3310) while the concentration of heavy metal was determined with the Agilent Technologies 700 Series ICP-OES. Furthermore Total Nitrogen (TN) were analyzed using Shimadzu TNM-1 where TOC was analyzed using Shimadzu TOC-VCPH. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) was conducted by (SPSS 25; IBM Corp.) software to find the most significant influences which are affecting the quality of water. An interpolation technique Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) was used to obtain spatial distribution of water quality parameters and spatial relevance to the contamination sources.
