Physical and Chemical Quality Boundaries of Ground Water in Kanchipuram District of Tamil Nadu, India
Water is fundamental for all living life forms for their living and metabolic cycles. The purpose of the current investigation is to gauge a few water quality boundaries in the Kanchipuram region of Tamil Nadu, India and dissect the information by multivariate statistical methods. So as to evaluate the ground water quality, boundaries, for example, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), chloride (Cl), sulphate (SO4), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), nitrate (NO3), sodium (Na), potassium (K), carbonate (CO3) and hydrogen carbonate (HCO3) were resolved utilising distinctive systematic techniques. The after effects of physicochemical properties were contrasted and recommended limits given by WHO (2004) and BIS (2012). The acquired outcome uncovers that the decided water quality boundaries are not exactly as far as possible. Measurable methods, for example, Pearson connection, principal and cluster examinations were applied among the ground water information to consider the relation between them.
