Arsenic levels were determined in 62 stations utilized as drinking and potable water resources by local community for Turkey’s Aksaray Province (4589
km
2; 980
m above sea level). The samplings were implemented every two months for 1 year. The arsenic values were found to be ranging between 10 and 50
μg/L in 22 points and were found to be >50
μg/L in 5 stations, according to the mean value of the 6 samples. WHO and the Turkish Standards have permitted an arsenic concentration of 10
μg/L in drinking waters. The multivariate statistical technique, cluster analysis (CA), followed by principal component analysis (PCA) were applied to the data on 17 water quality parameters in 47 stations that are used for drinking and other domestic resources. Two significant sampling locations were detected based on the similarity of their water quality. The chemical correlations were observed in the two sub-sampling locations by Principal Component Analysis.
