Abstract
Physico-Chemical Analysis and Modelling of Ground Water Quality Parameters Using Water Quality Index Method (WQI) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
Highlights
Groundwater is one of the major sources of water
Results of the detailed physico-chemical analysis of the ground water samples are presented in Appendix while the parameters employed for the water quality index modelling and principal component analysis is presented in Tables 1- 3
Phosphate, chloride and total dissolved solids are the three most important variables affecting the quality of the borehole water within the study area
Summary
Groundwater is one of the major sources of water. It is affected by a number of natural and anthropogenic factors. As groundwater use has increased, issue associated with the quality of groundwater resources have likewise grown in importance. Attention has been directed at contamination from point sources. Concerns have increased about nonpoint sources of contaminant and about the overall quality of groundwater resources Faisal [1]; Efe [2]; Oteze & Akujieze [3]. Contaminants in groundwater commonly result from infiltration containing agricultural fertilizers, pesticides, or contaminants from leaking tanks or pipes associated with industry Fryar [4], Debels [5]
