Groundwater quality in Neke area of southeastern Nigeria was investigated applying multivariate statistical analyses using Statgraphics Centurion XVII, ArcGIS 10.2.2 and Surfer 10 software on hydrochemical and bacteriological data from 25 groundwater samples over land cover of about 1283km2 ,in order to unravel the factors influencing ground water quality. From the correlation analysis, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, and S042- appear to be the main contributors of the ground water TDS, Ca2+ shows a high cor...
Physico-chemical, multivariate and bacteriological analyses were integrated to assess the impact of onsite sanitary sewage and agricultural waste on groundwater quality in Ikem and its environs using Rockworks16, Statgraphics Centurion XVII, ArcGIS 10.2.2 and Surfer 10. Results of the physicochemical analysis suggest that groundwater samples in the study area acidic, with very few samples having electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids above WHO standard for drinking water.
