Abstract

The uranium available more on groundwater samples of certain types on the total alkalinity were relatively the same. But, the content of the uranium was higher in the samples. The multiple linear regression for pH as a dependent variable showed that the pH negatively correlated to the uranium, but the uranium was not significant for the linear regression model. The data of groundwater population from the samples of 127 with 12 variables of measurement of the Energy Department of the United States of America resulted in those association rules and linear regression models. The data has five factors of Producing horizon namely Ogallala Formation (TPO), Dockum Formation (TRD), Quartermaster Group (POQ), Whitehorse and Cloud Chief Group (PGWC), El Reno Group and Blaine Formation (PGEB). The step-wise linear regression for each of the five producing horizon codes was fitted to the data. Then, the regression models for each variable of producing horizon were obtained if pH was the dependent variable. If the Uranium was a dependent variable, then the regression models obtained were four only, with the model for PGEB was not able to be made. When pH as a dependent variable, it was depended upon Boron, Total alkalinity, and Bicarbonate.

Highlights

  • Uranium is a naturally occurring alpha-emitting radionuclide and plausible human carcinogen [1]

  • Results from ecological investigation [4] suggested that colorectal, breath, kidney, and total cancer incidences may be elevated in areas with frequent groundwater use and elevated groundwater uranium

  • Association rules are an important class of regularities that exist in databases

Summary

Introduction

Uranium is a naturally occurring alpha-emitting radionuclide and plausible human carcinogen [1]. Uranium is a radioactive metal that occurs in low concentration in nature [2]. It is present in certain types of soils and rocks, especially granites [2]. Rural areas are depended heavily on groundwater sources approximately 40% of South Carolina (SC) residents regularly use ground-water as their primary drinking water sources [3]. Results from ecological investigation [4] suggested that colorectal, breath, kidney, and total cancer incidences may be elevated in areas with frequent groundwater use and elevated groundwater uranium. Uranium persists in the groundwater at former mining sites [5]
