Interpretation of ground water quality using co-relation and regression analysis of Bhubaneswar city, Odisha, India
Abstract
The present study deals with assessment of the physico – chemical and microbiological parameters of Bhubaneswar city, India. Statistical regression analysis was carried out to study the correlation between various physic – chemical parameters. Comparison of estimated values with W.H.O standards revealed that water of study area is more or less safe for drinking purpose. Except iron all most all parameters are found below permissible limit in most of the locations. Regression analysis of these data points suggests that conductivity of water is an important parameter and it is significantly correlated with other parameters. Present study may be treated as one step a head towards the drinking water quality management.
