In this investigation, principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical ascending classification (HAC), and multiple correspondence factor analysis (MCFA) were used to assess the water quality and the impact of human activities on it. PCA transformed the physicochemical parameters into new uncorrelated variables, and the PC1 and PC2 axes revealed that 64,05% of the total variance was influenced by parameters such as chlorides, sodium, potassium, phosphates, sulfides, pH, turbidity, and nitrates. After projecting the samples onto the factorial plane defined by PC1 and PC2, water sources were characterized based on their properties, which allowed for the identification of saline and hard waters, enabling decisions regarding their use and treatment methods. HAC grouped the water sources according to their similarity in terms of salinity and hardness, providing an understanding of the similarities and differences between these waters. MCFA identified significant correlations between certain parameters, measuring the linear relationships between multiple quantitative variables. We used R software to perform this multidimensional analysis of water sources. The statistical methods were performed to assess water quality, gain a better understanding of its characteristics, and make informed decisions regarding its management and treatment.
