The management and conservation of these small lakes should be made according to scientific criteria instead of political and administrative ones, and as a consecuence, it is necessary to establish in an accurate way their hydrological characteristics, In this work a multivariate analysis of hydrochemical data of all the wetlands of the province of Málaga has been carried out. Factor Analysis and different Cluster Analysis techniques have been used as a way to establised a number of partitions for the lakes considered and, on the other hand, they have allowed to determine the specific factor which has thes hiquest influence on each partitionspaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/WetlandsHydrochemistryFactor AnalysisCluster Analysisjournal articleopen access
