Results indicated that phosphate, chloride and the maximum pH values are key factors of algae generation. Furthermore, we employed the R language to validate the superiority and convenience of using CART algorithm. The conclusions and methods could contribute to a more effective water quality monitoring and forecasting. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.3969/j.issn.1001-5485.2012.09.021
