Abstract

The physico-chemical quality of ground water of Akodhi village in Mirzapur district was determined during October to December, 2017. Water samples from 11 hand pumps were collected. The parameters measured were pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, calcium hardness, total alkalinity, chloride and sulphate. The value obtained for different parameter was compared with the permissible standard value for drinking water given by BIS. The value of all the parameters except pH and turbidity were beyond the permissible limit for drinking water. The result of correlation analysis found five key parameters i.e. turbidity, total hardness, calcium hardness, total alkalinity and chloride which influenced significantly the other water parameter. The study reveals that combination of statistical tools for water parameter related data analysis can be useful for rapid water quality monitoring and its health hazard assessment.
