Chemical Typology of Groundwater from the Oued Righ Aquifers: Insights from the Application of Factorial Discriminant Analysis (FDA)

Abstract

This study is aimed at investigating the chemical typology of groundwater in the Oued Righ aquifers using multivariate statistical analysis such as PCA and FDA. For this, sixty three 63 samples were collected from the tree superposed aquifers (CT, CI and pheratic aquifer) and analysed on their physico-chemical parameters. PCA allow evidencing the mineralization axis and helps a classification of wells according their correlation towards this axis. FDA analysis results show that almost of individuals are well classified...
