The anatomy of groundwater for drinking purpose can easily be understood by considering its quality and contamination. IS 10500-2012 specifies the general and physical groundwater quality parameters. This study has focused on evaluation of groundwater characteristics using statistical analysis tools for Jetpur Pavi taluka of Chhota Udepur district, Gujarat. Spatial distribution of contaminants of major concern, which are Fluoride, Nitrate, Total Hardness and TDS, shows that Degla, Ambalag, Sithol, Tamboliya, etc. villages are having groundwater quality parameters above permissible limits. The main objective is to perform statistical analysis to examine inter-dependency of contaminants. Correlation Analysis (CA), Principle Component Analysis (PCA), Frequency distribution as well as rock- water relation studies are performed for selected villages of Jetpur Pavi taluka. An integration of groundwater statistics and hydro-geochemical data were helpful to evaluate Nitrate-chloride, Fluoride-Hardness and Nitrate-Hardness inter-dependency.
