An integrated SOM-based multivariate approach for spatio-temporal patterns identification and source apportionment of pollution in complex river network

► The nutrients pollution level in spatial Clusters A, B, and C were high, medium and low respectively. ► The WQRDP mainly caused by rivers internal pollution and surface detention. ► The non-point source pollution was a primary factor in the entire study watershed. ► Organic wastewater is the primary sources of pollution. ► NO3− pollution was prominent in spatial Cluster C.
