| Description | Each of 71 Slovak districts was described by means of 7 parameters divided into 2 groups. The first group, the offer of water, was identified by means of the mean year precipitation sum, surface water reserves, by means of the utilizable volume of ground waters and by means of portion of population connected to public water supply. In the second group, three parameters describing the rate of water sources threat were used: the usage of nitrogen and phosphatic fertilizers, the volume of treated waste water per capita and year, and the portion of population without sewerage or sinks. For the use of cluster analysis, the principal component analysis (PCA) and setting of principal components on the file of 71 districts was performed. As a result, 14 regional types of water source threat on the territory of the Slovak Republic were identified. |
