A. Dellatti et al., CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WATERS USED FOR AGRICULTURAL AIMS IN THE CENTER-SOUTHERN APULIA (ITALY), Annali di chimica, 88(3-4), 1998, pp. 261-268
The present work shows a study concerning the contamination phenomena
of underground waters in the center-southern Apulia. The attention was
focused both on the chemical characterization of waters and on the in
terpretation of the results obtained through the statistical analylis.
For a better interpretation of data, the Principal Component Analysis
(PCA) was used: this statistical analylis allows to study the structu
re of data, classify and correlate them, and represent changes in the
chemical characteristics of waters depending on the hydrogeological an
d anthropic conditions.
