Evaluation of graphical and multivariate statistical methods for classification and evaluation of groundwater in Alathur block, Perambalur District, India

This paper assesses the quality of water using different graphical and statistical methods like Durov, Schoeller, Piper – Tri linear diagram, Box and Whisker plot for three seasons in the study area Alathur block, Perambalur District. The graphical representation provides limitations compared with t...
