“…At the time of sampling, these bottles are thoroughly raised 2-3 times using the ground water to be sampled. These water samples are collected after pumping the water for 10 min (CPHEEO 1998;Chhabra 2008;Suresh et al 2010). The water samples are analyzed for various physico-chemical parameters using standards methods recommended by American Public Health Association (APHA 1989).…”

Geochemical processes are identified as controlling factors of groundwater chemistry, including chemical leaching and fluoride contaminations. These geochemical processes are identified using characterization of the major physico-chemical parameters of ground water from northern part of Sikar city. For this purpose, 15 ground water samples have collected and analyzed for different water quality parameters, such as pH, EC, TDS, TH, TA, DO, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, nitrate, sulfate and fluoride with the help of standard methods recommended by American Public Health Association. The analysis indicated that fluoride concentrations in four samples are at alarming state as compared to the World Health Organization standards for drinking purposes, thereby suggesting the need for treatment and precautionary measures for use of the particular ground water. The increased fluoride level in the ground water of Sikar city is due to the some geological process such as dissolution of fluoride rich mineral (fluorspar) in the favorable environment. To classify the ground water ability for different purposes various graphical plots like Piper tri-linear, Durov, Schoeller, Bar, Scatter diagrams have been drawn. On the basis of physicochemical, graphical and statistical analysis (Spearman's Rank correlations), various dimension of improving water quality for drinking purposes have also been suggested.

Interpretation of groundwater chemistry data using multivariate statistical techniques

Hydrogeologists in general and hydrogeochemists in particular are commonly asked to collect and interpret groundwater chemistry data for determining the groundwater quality at a particular site. More often, this involves graphical representation of data and a comparison with the drinking water quality standards. However, public laws and regulations require rigorous and a comprehensive quantitative approach, including statistical analysis to interpret the groundwater chemistry data. The analysis might be helpful in identifying the contaminated sites.A total of 19 groundwater samples were collected from Wadi Bani Malik located 40 km to the east of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The area once known to be a dumping ground for untreated waste has now been partially remediated. To establish that the higher concentration of salts found in the Wadi is due to the sewage dumping, the data were compared with an adjacent Wadi Madsus that was not known to have any history of dumping. A distribution-free method of multivariate data analysis was employed to compare the variation in species abundance and composition among sampling sites.Principal Coordinate Analysis indicates that some of the wells in both the wadis have same compositional trend and also some samples overlap within the same area. Analysis of similarity (ANOSIM) using R package vegan software indicates a strong correlation (R = 0.82) between Wadi Bani Malik and Wadi Madsus. The P factor calculated while performing the analysis suggests that sewage dumping significantly contaminated (P = 0.001) the groundwater quality of the Bani Malik area.

“…The study on groundwater quality of Vindhyan region has been performed by few researchers (Tiwari et al, 2009;Tiwari et al, 2010;Mishra, 2010). Hydrogeochemistry and classification of groundwater are carried out in order to evaluate its suitability for municipal, agricultural and industrial uses (Ahmed et al, 2002;Jasrotia & Singh, 2007;Suresh et al, 2010;Purushottam et al, 2011). Realizing the importance of groundwater quality delineation, the present work has been undertaken around Dabhaura area, a tehsil headquarter in Rewa district, Madhya Pradesh ( Figure 1).…”

The present paper deals with quality and pollution potential of Groundwater of Dabhaura area, Rewa District, Madhya Pradesh. The study area is mainly drained by Jatari river which finally meets to Tons river, a life line of Rewa region. Geologically, the area is occupied by shale and Govindgarh sandstone formations of Upper Vindhyan. A total of 22 groundwater samples from shallow aquifer zone collected in June 2011 and analyzed to see their suitability for drinking and irrigation purposes. The analysed data reflect that the groundwater of the area is moderately hard to very hard, higher amount of total dissolved solids as well as higher concentration of sulphate due to lithology of aquifers. A most of samples are within prescribed limits as suggested by World Health Organisation (WHO) and Indian Standard (ISI) for drinking purpose. The groundwater is mainly Ca-Mg-SO 4 -Cl and Ca-Mg-HCO 3 type. The plot of electrical conductance (EC) vs sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of analysed groundwater samples in U.S. salinity diagram indicating them to be of medium to high salinity and low sodium hazard type of groundwater. However, for the computation of vulnerability, the DRASTIC Index (DI) modelling has been adopted. The computed Drastic Index suggests that the area is moderate to high susceptible to pollution. Hence, proper attention and water quality monitoring programme has been suggested to check the groundwater pollution.
