Analysis of rain and reservoir water using ICP-OES and IC.

Analysis of rain and reservoir water using ICP-OES and IC.

A study of the chemical composition of rainwater and 3 reservoirs in Singapore, Upper Seletar Reservoir, Kranji Reservoir and Jurong Lake Reservoir, was carried out for 3 months from January 2010 to March 2010. Samples were analyzed using ICP-OES and IC. Reservoir water was alkaline and rainwater w...

Pearson’s correlation and Principal Component Analysis was done for the Reservoirs and rainwater samples.
