Abstract

Characterization of seasonal changes in surface waters quality is an important aspect in evaluating temporal variations of rivers pollution due to natural or anthropogenic inputs of point/non-point sources. The present paper aims to evaluate the water quality parameters, in three main potential pollutant sources along the Arges, Olt and Jiu rivers and to extract those parameters that are most important in assessing the water quality. Surface water quality data for 12 physical and chemical parameters collected from 3 different points/rivers thereby before, after and from a main city on the rivers were analyzed during the springtime of years 2010.
