The aims of this research are to assess water quality by organic and nutrient matters and identifying the environmental pressures, examine the impact of the loads to Nhu Y River, Thua Thien-Hue Province. Five stations were sampled at Nhu Y River, the research had monitoring of water quality parameters such as Temperature (Temp), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Nitrate (NO3-) and Phosphate (PO43-). The research used multivariate statistical techniques such as correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) to assess water quality. The correlation analysis shown a strong positive correlation exists between water quality parameters such as TempDO and BOD5COD (p<0.01). The PCA technique was applied to water quality data sets, which was obtained from Nhu Y River and the results show that the indices which has changed water quality. The results of the PCA using a varimax rotation technique were illustrated with two principal components (PC) and accounts for 62.207% of the overall total variance. The first PC accounted for 40.873% of the total variance, which was loaded with Temp, DO, BOD5 and COD. The second PC consists of NO3- and PO43- which accounts for 21.334% of the total variance, it can be due to the discharge of agricultural activities. Similarly, the CA has identified two major clusters involving: BOD5, COD, Temp, DO (the first cluster) and NO3-, PO43- (the second cluster).
