Abstract :
The interpretation of the groundwater
chemistry is an utmost vital procedure in any of the
groundwater contamination study. The generation of the
groundwater chemistry data inform of major ions and its
interpretation are an utterly two diverse dealings. The
generated groundwater chemistry data seems
insignificant without the appropriate interpretation. To
depict a comprehensive picture of the groundwater
chemistry and to understand the liable dynamics,the
hydro-geochemical plots are the usual tools to be
engaged with. The Stiff’s, Piper, Chadha’s and Gibbs
plots are the utmost encouraging tools for the hydrogeochemical interpretation; of them the Piper plot have
versatile implications.Before subjecting the generated
groundwater chemistry data to the interpretation
procedures by the various plots, methodical operations
over the data are required to be done. These operations
includesion balancing and conversations to mEq./l from
mg/l.Only the furnished data are worthy enough to be
subjected into different plots and to achieve the
resourceful yields. In an entire investigation, the Piper
plot was found to be most promising hydro-geochemical
interpretation tool, generating an inclusive depiction of
nearly all facets of the groundwater chemistry, along
with the influence of the associated geology. However,
the subsidiary part of other plots cannot be neglected in
full and are of minor implication.
