| Abstract: | R mode factor analysis was carried out on 48 groundwater samples collected from the Chitravati river basin, a typical drought-prone area of Andhra Pradesh, India. The samples were chemically analyzed by using conventional techniques (the analyzed data have been further standardized, and eigen values and eigen vectors have been computed). The data have been put into four major factors and the subsurface geology of the region has been clearly brought out by these factors. The areas prone to salinity hazard, recharging, and nonrecharging zones have been established. |
