| Abstract | ||
| Principal components analysis (PCA) were applied on the physical, chemical and biological water quality parameter from Tigris river within Mosul city, to give simpler and more easily interpretation results for the evaluation of these parameters. The PCA produced five significant main components explain more than 78% of the variance, Namely, seasonal effects, Mosul reservoir effects, agricultural and storm water effects, geological effect, and disposed wastewater effect; that represent 31.19%, 18.6%, 12.56%, 9.62% and 6.12% respectively of the total variance of water quality in Tigris river. Moreover, each parameter described with more than 50% in these five components. Finally the results of PCA reflected a good look on the water quality monitoring and interpretation of the surface water. | ||
