The statistical analysis of Groundwater at Durgapur using GIS
Chhanda Mondal Roy ;
Groundwater is the most suitable source of our drinking water. Contamination of such water sources is a big problem that creates a health hazard. The groundwater quality has been studied at the different points located in the Durgapur Sub-Divisional area. The water sample’s physical and chemical parameters were evaluated during all seasons. The parameters like alkalinity, total dissolved solids, hardness, colour, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen were tested in the laboratory. To assess the quality of groundwater, each parameter has been compared with the standard desirable limit of that parameter in drinking water as prescribed by IS 10500-2012 and a comparison of different parameters. Statistical analysis has been performed and a correlation coefficient matrix has been evaluated.
