Spatial variation of water quality parameters in a mangrove estuary

Abstract

Spatial variations of the water quality parameters of the Merbok estuary were interpreted by multivariate statistical techniques, such as cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA), and factor analysis (FA). Data from January to December 2011 were collected to monitor 13 parameters at six sampling stations along the river stretch (two stations at each river section: upstream, midstream, and downstream).
