Section I

Research Problem

The study focused on identifying the procedures organizing the chemical development of ground water through two suitable techniques of multi-variate study of the chemical data set that is factor analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis.

Data Collection

The data of the study was collected from secondary data that relates to geochemical evolution of ground water that is chemical constraints of ground water.

Source of Data

The source of secondary data that pertain to chemical constraints of ground water is internet.

Variables

The variables that are included in the study are Calcium, Chlorine, EC, Bicarbonate, TDS, Potassium, Magnesium, SAR, Sodium, TH, Nonexistium, RSC and Sulfate.

Sample Size

The sample size of chemical constraints of ground water is 52.

Hypotheses/ Research Questions

What are the important factors for chemical constraints of ground water in Catchment Area of Veeranam at Tamil Nadu?

Section II

The data analysis shows that factor and cluster analysis are applied. The Q mode analysis presented the inter relations between the studied samples; besides it, the R mode analysis presented the inter relations between the incorporated variables. In addition to this, Q mode cluster analyses and Q mode factor reflect an exchange between the ground water and the river water in the surrounding area. Moreover, the factor analysis of R mode indicates that Mg, Cl and Ca with HCO3 give an explanation for the majority of the electric conduction, total hardness and total dissolve solid of ground water (Suvedha, Gurugnanam, Suganya and Vasudevan, 2009).

Section III

The data analysis of the study was appropriate as there were several variables for which it was necessary to determine the important factors which are the basis of chemical constraints of ground water in Catchment Area of Veeranam at Tamil Nadu. For that reason, it can be said that both factor and cluster analysis are appropriately applied on the ...
