Geo-statistical Analysis Of The Hydro-geochemical Parameters Of River Niger Flood Plain Water, Jebba, Central Nigeria

The Geo-statistical evaluation of the hydrochemical data of river Niger floodplain water in Jebba and its environs, Nigeria was carried out using Multivariate statistical analysis such as Correlation Analysis (CA), Factor Analysis (FA), Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) and Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to classify the water geochemistry. Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry technique was used for cations analysis while the anions were analyzed by using volumetric analysis. The water samples were characterized for the physicochemical parameters such as temperature, electrical conduc…
