Comparative Study between Open Well Water and Tube Well Water of Balasore Town by Correlation and Regression Method

A systematic calculation of correlation coefficients among water quality constituents for ground water samples of Balasore town has been carried out. The regression equations have been developed and their utility has been discussed to predict the concentration of water quality constituents having significant correlations. Drinking water at almost all the sites is found to be polluted. People dependent on this water must be facing the health hazards of contaminated drinking water and water quality management is urgently required in the catchment area of study.
