Resumen:
bstractSurface waters are used by local populations for different purposes, such as recreational activities, water source for human andanimal consumption, and irrigation among others, which lead to the need for management strategies on water health andassociated risks. During this study, we investigated physicochemical parameters, fecal coliform bacteria, and infectious humanenterovirus detection to determine the water quality in different beaches (categorized as an urban area, non-urban areas, and anintermediate position) from San Roque Dam, in Argentina. Multivariate techniques were applied. Principal component analysisallowed identification of subgroup of variables responsible for the water quality. A cluster analysis and multivariate analysis ofvariance showed the urban beach as the highest pollution area. The following variables (measured at the urban beach) would beenough to describe the quality of the aquatic body: nitrites, fecal coliforms, total phosphorous, and infectious hu
