Evaluating water quality using the Geographical Detector Model in Hong Kong
Assessing water quality is one of the most important fields in water resources management and environmental science. In this context, physical and chemical water parameters, including Water Temperature (WT), pH, Salinity (SAL), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), and concentrations of trace elements like iron (Fe), aluminum (Al), and barium (Ba) play a crucial role in evaluating water quality. The Geographical Detector Model (GDM) is a powerful statistical tool that can be used to analyze and predict the impact of these parameters on water quality by examining variance and data heterogeneity. A notable advantage of GDM is that it can also effectively analyze the relationship between physical and chemical parameters. In this study, we used GDM to analyze 7 physical and 16 chemical parameters that influence the Water Quality Index (WQI), considering both their individual effects and interactions in all rivers of Hong Kong. The findings showed that Suspended Solids (SS) had the greatest impact among physical parameters (0.45) on WQI, while Total Phosphorus (TP) was the most impactful chemical parameter (0.85). Additionally, the results revealed that Turbidity (TUR) and Conductivity (CON) showed the strongest positive interaction among physical parameters (0.93), while the highest interaction among chemical parameters was observed between Al and TP (0.92). Generally, the study suggested that chemical parameters had a greater influence on WQI compared to physical parameters. In other words, WQI showed greater susceptibility to chemical parameter variations.
期刊介绍:
Physics and Chemistry of the Earth is an international interdisciplinary journal for the rapid publication of collections of refereed communications in separate thematic issues, either stemming from scientific meetings, or, especially compiled for the occasion. There is no restriction on the length of articles published in the journal. Physics and Chemistry of the Earth incorporates the separate Parts A, B and C which existed until the end of 2001.
Please note: the Editors are unable to consider submissions that are not invited or linked to a thematic issue. Please do not submit unsolicited papers.
The journal covers the following subject areas:
-Solid Earth and Geodesy:
(geology, geochemistry, tectonophysics, seismology, volcanology, palaeomagnetism and rock magnetism, electromagnetism and potential fields, marine and environmental geosciences as well as geodesy).
-Hydrology, Oceans and Atmosphere:
(hydrology and water resources research, engineering and management, oceanography and oceanic chemistry, shelf, sea, lake and river sciences, meteorology and atmospheric sciences incl. chemistry as well as climatology and glaciology).
-Solar-Terrestrial and Planetary Science:
(solar, heliospheric and solar-planetary sciences, geology, geophysics and atmospheric sciences of planets, satellites and small bodies as well as cosmochemistry and exobiology).
