The aim of the present paper is to approach the matter of water quality by resorting to the metod of multicriterial mathematical programming. MicrosoftExcel enables the simulation of a mathematical model. Furthermore, we have also created a file in the C++ software, in view of the simulation process, applicable to numberless properties of water quality. The case study presents the simulation of a multicriterial analysis of water quality in Sibiu county. This particular study shows the means of obtaining more information about water quality, subsequent to the analysis of its characteristics resorting to statistical analysis-specific software, e.g. SPSS 16 software. Given the increase of drinking water worldwide by tens of percentage points in cca two decades, the author(s) consider(s) that an approach to the quality management of drinking water should represent a key priority of society.

Pollution Impacts

There can be no doubt that landuse profoundly affects the quality of water in streams, rivers, lakes and shallow aquifers. However, the task of finding specific cause - effect relationships between different landuses and Water Quality (WQ) is one of the most important ecological challenges of out times. At the present time, few tested procedures are available to study the landuse and Non-Point Source (NPS) pollution impacts on WQ. One methodology which offers considerable promise is the use of statistical analysis of landuse and WQ data from selected regions. Facilitating the systematic application of statistical procedures, in the present investigation, regression equations have been developed between landuse and WQ parameters. The results of the study indicated that landuse can account for up to 45% of the observed variation in mean nitrates, 39% of the observed variation in mean phosphates, 58% of the observed variation in mean fluoride concentration, 46% of the observed variation in mean COD concentrations and 72% of the observed variation in mean potassium concentrations.
