Abstract
The water quality index (WQI) is a unified measure that summarizes many water test characteristics to provide a single value indication of water quality. The Tigris River is a vital water source in southeastern Iraq. Monthly water samples were collected from August 2022 to July 2023. Eighteen parameters were analyzed. The principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to analyze the environmental variables. First, it helped us choose significant water quality limits and determine their comparative weights. Second, we constructed excellence curves for the selected
期刊介绍:
The main focus of Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries is to publish peer-reviewed, original papers relating to the biology and ecology of fresh, brackish and marine wetlands. Papers on applied research in both fisheries and aquaculture are so encouraging. Preference will be given to studies that address timely and current topics such as impact of climate change and green economy. The aim of Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries is to provide a wide scope for the aquatic biologist and limnologist to address and evaluate fisheries issues related to processes and functioning at different levels (individuals, communities and ecosystems).
