Characterizing effects of landscape and morphometric factors on water quality of reservoirs using a self-organizing map
Water quality of agricultural reservoirs was characterized with variables in multiple spatial scales. SOM classified 302 agricultural reservoirs into six different clusters based on water quality. The water quality also has strong relations with the proportions of land cover types in watersheds. The hydrogeomorphometry of reservoirs have a considerable impact on the water quality of adjacent aquatic ecosystems.
