Analysis of Groundwater Quality Behavior Based on a Statistical Approach: Case Study of Khan Yunis Governorate (Palestine)

Abstract: Correlation matrix, principal component analysis (PCA), and cluster analysis were used to improve understanding of complex groundwater systems using scant monitoring data. The applicability of these statistical techniques was assessed using groundwater monitoring data from the Gaza Coastal Aquifer (GCA), which is complex and highly heterogeneous. Principal component analysis and cluster analysis results identified two groundwater contamination patterns, (1) salinization, and (2) interaction between anthropogen… Show more

“…A large number of remediation technologies have been applied to remove contaminants from groundwater to protect the groundwater quality and public health. The remediation of contaminated groundwater is a complicated, time-consuming, and expensive task (Alagha et al, 2013;Gebregziabher et al, 2013). In order to increase the efficiency of remediation systems and to reduce the cost associated with remedial actions, decision-makers mostly rely on integrated simulation and optimization models (Ayenew et al, 2013;Kumar et al, 2012;Masih et al, 2012;Lu et al, 2014).…”
