Abstract

Monitoring the quality of mains water in residential areas where industrialization is intense is of vital importance in terms of human health. For this purpose, quality parameters expressing the physical, chemical and biological properties of water are periodically observed through laboratory tests. During the evaluation of water quality, these parameters can be assessed individually or as a group by considering their interrelations. In this context, by using water quality reports of Bursa province which is an industrial city, answers to two questions were sought. The first of these questions is, getting evaluated on a group basis, which groups of water quality parameters are found to be highly correlated. The second question is whether the correlation between these interrelated parameter groups can be maintained in different measurement periods. For these purposes, analyzes were made using an approach which utilizes canonical correlation analysis, exhaustive scanning, and sliding window methods. As a result of these analyzes, it was observed that used approach gave successful results in terms of determining interrelated parameter groups and the differences in terms of interrelations between the measurement periods over these groups.

Keywords
