  abstract = {{T}he study investigates the spatial and temporal variation in water quality parameters at nine different locations in {M}{\'e}, {B}{\'e}t{\'e} and {D}jibi {R}ivers as well as {A}ghien {L}agoon near {A}bidjan city for twelve consecutive months. {P}hysicochemical parameters concerned are p{H}, temperature, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll-a, total phosphorus and total nitrogen. {D}issolved heavy metals analyzed are {N}i, {C}u, {Z}n, {P}b, {C}d and {A}s. {T}he assessment of physicochemical parameters shown the deteriorate of water quality with significant changes particularly in the {D}jibi {R}iver with high mean concentrations of total phosphorus (0.51 mg{P}.{L}-1) and total nitrogen (7.60 mg{N}.{L}-1). {N}evertheless, the overall mean concentrations of heavy metals in water {C}u (1.43 µg.{L}-1), {C}d (0.06 µg.{L}-1), {P}b (0.2 µg.{L}-1), {Z}n (9.16 µg.{L}-1), {A}s (0.3 µg.{L}-1), {N}i (2.77 µg.{L}-1) were lower than {WHO} {S}tandard for {D}rinking {W}ater {Q}uality. {D}issolved heavy metal percentage indicates that the order of concentrations was {Z}n>{N}i>{C}u>{P}b>{A}s>{C}d. {M}ultivariate analysis of variance ({ANOVA}) was used to group the different sampling sites on the basis of spatial similarities and classification, based on contamination sources and origin of pollutants in rivers and lagoon. {I}n conclusion, this study clearly infers the fact that the cause of pollution in this region is mainly due to domestic and industrial effluents, agriculture and finally natural source.},
