Abstract

The article delves into the environmental impacts caused by limnological variables in water reservoirs of hydroelectric power plants, with a specific focus on the Espora HPP reservoir in Brazil. It evaluates the water quality and identifies species that may be polluting the environment, emphasizing the significance of multivariate statistical analysis for understanding and managing water resources. The study highlights the changes in water quality from lotic to lentic systems after reservoir construction and the importance of monitoring physical, chemical, and biological parameters. The use of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is emphasized for evaluating water quality and identifying environmental factors affecting the aquatic system. The research aims to contribute to the development of environmental protection policies and drainage basin monitoring strategies globally.
