This abstract slide overviews groundwater quality in Kole wetlands, Central Kerala, using multivariate statistics like PCA, FA, and correlation analysis. It identifies seasonal hydrochemical variations, influencing factors, dominant ions, and pollution sources.
Groundwater is essential for Kerala's drinking water and agriculture but faces major challenges from contamination and overexploitation. The study assesses its quality using multivariate statistical methods, including PCA, FA, and correlation analysis.
Source: Importance of groundwater in Kerala. Challenges: contamination, overexploitation. Study objectives: assess quality via stats.
The slide titled "Study Area" showcases the Kole Wetlands in Central Kerala, India. It lists approximate coordinates (10.5°N, 76.2°E) and notes unique geological and hydrological features.

The Methodology slide outlines sampling from multiple sites across seasons for key hydrochemical parameters. It details PCA for variance analysis and principal components, FA for latent variable extraction via factor loadings, and Pearson's correlation matrix for parameter relationships.
PCA results show PC1 explaining 68% of variance with dominant EC and Cl loadings, while PC2 accounts for 22% driven by nutrients and pH influences. The first two components together capture 90% of total cumulative variance.

Pre-monsoon shows strong correlations like EC-NO3⁻ (r=0.82), Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺ (r=0.76), and HCO3⁻-Cl⁻ (r=0.71), indicating ion exchange and anthropogenic salinity influences. Post-monsoon correlations weaken due to dilution, e.g., EC-NO3⁻ (r=0.45) and Ca²⁺-HCO3⁻ (r=0.52), from rainwater recharge.
| Pre-monsoon Correlations | Post-monsoon Correlations |
|---|---|
| Strong positive correlations observed: EC-NO3⁻ (r=0.82), Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺ (r=0.76), HCO3⁻-Cl⁻ (r=0.71). Indicates ion exchange and anthropogenic influences on salinity. | Weakened correlations due to dilution: EC-NO3⁻ (r=0.45), reduced major ion links (e.g., Ca²⁺-HCO3⁻ r=0.52). Reflects rainwater recharge diluting solutes. |
The Factor Analysis results identify two main factors: Factor 1 for salinity-driven seasonal variations and Factor 2 for anion-dominated hydrochemical shifts. Influences include weathering and anthropogenic activities, with a loadings plot showing variable contributions.
The slide discusses key groundwater processes dominated by ion exchange and evaporation, with monsoons diluting ion concentrations and pre-monsoon evaporation intensifying mineralization. It emphasizes adaptive management for seasonal variations and implications for sustainable strategies.
PCA/FA analysis reveals distinct seasonal patterns in groundwater quality, with recommended management strategies including continuous monitoring and artificial recharge. The slide urges policy interventions for sustainable use and calls to implement sustainable practices today.
