Multivariate Statistical Analysis for Evaluate the Quality of Water of the Catchment Area of the Bouhamdane River: North Eastern Algerian

The catchment area of Bouhamdane River is located in the North-East Algerian, occupying the Western part of the Town of Guelma, it being itself on a surface of 1105 km², with a population of 134314 inhabitants (66.37% of the total population of the Town). In order to better understand and manage the quality water of the catchment area of the Bouhamdane river, twenty six (26) points were taken and analyzed partly upstream of the basin (Bouhamdane, Bordj Sabat and Zenati rivers), for two periods; the first rainy season (March 2013 and 2015); the second season dries (June2013) and a series of eleven (11) years of observation (2005/2015) partly downstream (Hammam Debagh dam). The results have been processed statistically by the Principal Component Analysis. This approach of treatment giving a perspective estimate on the quality of surface water of this area catchment in various sectors; upstream and downstream; and the origin of in particular agricultural and domestic sources of pollution.
