Abstract

The consumption of surface water is becoming increasingly significant as a main solution for Malaysia's issues with water supply, especially in urban areas. The study addresses the protection of urban water security by multivariate analysis, evaluating trends in the distribution of water quality parameters and identifies the primary sources and processes involved in water quality contamination in the Malaysian Juru River Basin. Conventional graphical and multivariate statistical methods HACA and PCA from chemometric techniques were used. The data collected in the Juru River was subjected to this investigation, which recorded 19 physical-chemical and microbiological characteristics at two sampling locations throughout the Juru River Basin. Consequently, the HACA was effectively split into the downstream and upstream areas. Six VFs are displayed by PCA in the high pollution source area (HPS), which represents 81.11% of the variance. The main cause of a decrease in water quality in the downstream areas of the Juru River Basin is anthropogenic pollution, or pollution caused by human activities. The study concludes by demonstrating how chemometric techniques can be used to identify significant details about their capacity to interpret complex data that determines the Juru River Basin's spatial and temporal variation in water quality distribution trends into MPS and HPS areas to ensure the urban water security protection.
