| Abstract: | The use of statistical techniques in studying the causes of geochemical variations in aquifers can provide important results
which cannot be derived in other ways. In this study, data from the Wadi Shueib catchment area in Jordan is evaluated, using
principle component factor and multivariate factor analysis in order to better understand the variablility in groundwater
chemistry and evaluate the sources of pollution and the susceptibility of these aquifers to the different sources of pollution.
This study clearly demonstrates that these statistical techniques can help determine the various mechanisms causing chemical
variation in the aquifers and the relative susceptibility of each aquifer to different types of pollution.
