Abstract:

Water plays an important role in domestic and industrial usage. The quality of drinking water is a powerful environmental determinant of health. Assessment of water quality of drinking water supplies has always been paramount in the field of environmental quality management. Assurance of drinking water safety is a foundation for the prevention and control of water borne diseases. The suitability of drinking water has many requisite potable conditions. A systematic study has been carried out around Etcherla to assess the ground water quality data for 12 physicochemical parameters collected from 11 monitoring stations were analyzed. The fit models like surfer and Minitab was used to analyse data set. The results revealed highly variable hydrochemistry. The groundwater recorded a wide range in TDS. The major elements data were plotted on contors for working of hydro chemical facies.

Keywords:

Hydrochemical, dendogram, Etcherla, surfer.
