Multivariate Statistical Analysis Of Hydrochemical And Environmental Isotope Data To Characterise The Hydrogeological And Hydrogeochemical System Of The Lake Sibayi Catchment, North-Eastern South Africa
An integrated approach involving multivariate statistical analysis combined with graphical methods (Piper trilinear diagram and δ18O-δ 2H plots), and environmental isotope analyses were successfully applied to characterise the spatial distribution of hydrogeochemical parameters and their controlling factors within the Lake Sibayi catchment located in north-eastern South Africa.
