abstract={The present study aims to compare physico-chemical parameters of Agneby and Me rivers of C?te d'Ivoire. A total of eight (8) physico-chemical parameters were determined in nine (9) localities surveyed on both the Agneby and Me Rivers. Sampling were carried out on a seasonal frequency between August 2015 and July 2016. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of both rivers showed that Agneby River localities were characterized by warm water (27.08 ¡À 0.87¡ãC), neutral pH (7.07 ¡À 0.26), high salinity (0.05 ¡À 0.04 ¡ë), relatively high levels of dissolved substances (58.01 ¡À 32.19 mg/L), and low resistivity (26.97 ¡À 22.46 k¦¸/cm) compared to Me River localities. Bravais Pearson correlation matrix between physico-chemical parameters of both rivers showed a strongly significant positive correlation between salinity and conductivity (0.89), salinity (0.90) and TDS, conductivity (0.91) and total dissolved solids, and a negative highly correlation was observed respectively between pH and redox potential (-0.75), pH and resistivity (-0.73), resistivity and total dissolved solids (-0.64), resistivity and conductivity (-0.57) and between resistivity and salinity (-0.57).},
