Abstract
The objective of the present research study is to evaluate the quality of ground water near mining activity area in East Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh. Ground water samples were collected from the nearby granite mining activity area and characterized for physico chemical parameters viz., pH, Electrical Conductivity(EC), Total dissolved Solids(TDS), Total Hardness(TH), Total Alkalinity(TA), Calcium(Ca2+), Magnesium(Mg2+),Sodium(Na+), Potassium(K+), Chloride(Cl-), Sulphate(So42-), Phosphate(Po43-), Nitrate(NO3-). The research results revealed that these waters were unsuitable for drinking or domestic application due to higher chemical parametric levels compared to the drinking water standards of IS: 10500-1992. Factor analysis was performed for the parametric data set. This provides an insight into the source of parameters which are responsible for the water quality changes that occur in the ground water. The present study elucidated the effectiveness of factor analysis in evaluating the changes in ground water quality which is dominated by natural and anthropogenic activities.
