Cover Story: Water quality monitoring programs yield a wealth of data. It is often unclear what drives the concentrations of micropollutants that occur at certain locations or at different times. A clustering analysis at monitoring locations in the river Rhine and Meuse yielded many diverse and concise clusters of micropollutants with co-varying concentrations. The presented explorative cluster analyses, along with the observed relations with micropollutant properties, local environmental conditions and overlap with lists of known micropollutants from certain emission sources, support the elucidation of emission patterns and environmental processes that determine the occurrence and concentration dynamics of micropollutants. This knowledge can support water managers in improving water quality. View this paper
