“…The wet season exhibited higher concentrations of certain parameters, notably arsenic, attributed to increased recharge, surface runoff carrying arsenic, altered hydrological patterns, fluctuating redox conditions, and human activities. This phenomenon stresses the dynamic nature of water quality in response to seasonal variations and anthropogenic influences (Yüksel et al, 2024 ).…”

Water scarcity is a growing concern due to rapid urbanization and population growth. This study assesses spring water quality at 20 stations in Giresun province, Türkiye, focusing on potentially toxic elements and physicochemical parameters. The Water Quality Index rated most samples as "excellent" during the rainy season and "good" during the dry season, except at stations 4 (40° 35′ 12″ North/38° 26′ 34″ East) and 19 (40° 44′ 28″ North/38° 06′ 53″ West), indicating "poor" quality. Mean macro-element concentrations (mg/L) were: Ca (34.27), Na (10.36), Mg (8.26), and K (1.48). Mean trace element values (μg/L) were: Al (1093), Zn (110.54), Fe (67.45), Mn (23.03), Cu (9.79), As (3.75), Ni (3.00), Cr (2.84), Pb (2.70), Co (1.93), and Cd (0.76). Health risk assessments showed minimal non-carcinogenic risks, while carcinogenic risk from arsenic slightly exceeded safe limits (CR = 1.75E−04). Higher arsenic concentrations during the rainy season were due to increased recharge, arsenic-laden surface runoff, and human activities. Statistical analyses (PCA, PCC, HCA) suggested that metals and physico-chemical parameters originated from lithogenic, anthropogenic, or mixed sources. Regular monitoring of spring water is recommended to mitigate potential public health risks from waterborne contaminants.

“…After performing PCA on the normalized variables, important principal components were extracted and the impact of insignificant variables was further reduced by subjecting the principal components to generate variators. (Aydin et al, 2021 ; Egbueri & Agbasi, 2022 ; Yüksel et al, 2024 ).…”
