water is an essential resource for all the organisms, plants and animals including the human beings. It is the backbone for agricultural and industrial sectors and all the small business units. Increase in human population and economic activities have tremendously increased the demand for large-scale suppliers of fresh water for various competing end users.The quality evaluation of water is represented in terms of physical, chemical and Biological parameters. A particular problem in the case of water quality monitoring is the complexity associated with analyzing the large number of measured variables. The data sets contain rich information about the behavior of the water resources. Multivariate statistical approaches allow deriving hidden information from the data sets about the possible influences of the environment on water quality. Classification, modeling and interpretation of monitored data are the most important steps in the assessment of water quality. The application of different multivariate statistical techniques, such as cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA) and factor analysis (FA) help to identify important components or factors accounting for most of the variances of a system. In the present study water samples were analyzed for various physicochemical analyses by different methods following the standards of APHA, BIS and WHO and were subjected to further statistical analysis viz. the cluster analysis to understand the similarity and differences among the various sampling stations. Three clusters were found. Cluster 1 was marked with 3 sampling locations 1, 3 & 5; Cluster-2 was marked with sampling location-2 and cluster-3 was marked with sampling location-4. Principal component analysis/factor analysis is a pattern reorganization technique which is used to assess the correlation between the observations in terms of different factors which are not observable. Observations correlated either positively or negatively, are likely to be affected by the same factors while the observations which are not correlated are influenced by different factors. In our study three factors explained 99.827% of variances. F1 marked 51.619% of total variances, high positive strong loading with TSS, TS, Temp, TDS, phosphate and moderate with electrical conductivity with loading values of 0.986, 0.970, 0.792, 0.744, 0.695, 0.701, respectively. Factor 2 marked 27.236% of the total variance with moderate positive loading with total alkalinity & temp. with loading values 0.723 & 0.606 respectively. It also explained the moderate negative loading with conductivity, TDS, and chloride with loading values-0.698,-0.690,-0.582. Factor F 3 marked 20.972 % of the variances with positive loading with PH, chloride, and phosphate with strong loading of pH 0.872 and moderate positive loading with chloride and phosphate with loading values 0.721, and 0.569 respectively.

Clinoptilolite Tuff and Other Zeolite Added Value Products as Sustained Commodities in Traditional Water and Waste ManagementCoagulation/flocculation and ion exchange onto natural zeolite clinoptilolite are reviewed and discussed in this paper based on their pilot or industrial applications. Surface water purification by means of chemical coagulation and flocculation supported by the powdered natural zeolite was carried out industrially to save drinking water reservoir (upper part of Ondava river) settled by about ten thousands inhabitants. Therefore, several other surface water samples from the Slovakian reservoirs potentially impacted by contamination were examined to treat with alum coagulation/flocculation and powdered clinoptilolite tuff addition at the laboratory, respectively. Ammonia removal from tannery wastewater using the clinoptilolite tuff with chemical regeneration and regenerant recovery by air stripping, carried out in pilot measure during the several months at the mixed Wastewater Treatment Facility in Otrokovice - WTFO is discussed and evaluated, respectively.
Water, the Nectar of Life', is fundamental resource which is essential for the survival of different sectors, such as agricultural sector, industrial sector and small business units. In the absence of proper planning, urbanization and industrial/agricultural activities have adversely affected many regions around the world. This has led to indiscriminate actions, including dumping of wastes into the water and washing and bathing in open surface water bodies. In the present study groundwater samples from five sampling locations were collected and the analyses were done for nine physicochemical parameters. Water quality index assessment was carried out by using physicochemical analysis results. Water quality index of the sampling locations of Allahabad city has been divided into five categories. Good water quality index has been put into location 1 while locations 2, 3 and 4 indicate bad quality index. Very bad water quality index has been denoted in location 5. Correlation, the descriptive relationship among the physicochemical parameters, were also studied and it was found that the highly positively correlated values were among the parameters TDS vs EC (r=1.00), TS vs TSS (r=0.91), Temp vs TSS (r=0.87), Phosphate vs TSS (r=0.823) and highly negatively correlation was shown among TA vs Chloride. The result shows that the water quality of Allahabad city is not good and there is an urgent need for the preliminary treatment of water before it is used for the drinking purposes. There is also the need for the proper waste disposal and treatment system for the contaminants which seep in the groundwater and deteriorate groundwater quality. Awareness programmes should also be organized to educate the masses for the conservation and management of groundwater resources and the need to reduce of overuse and wastage of the groundwater resources should be emphasized. Sustainable water development in the city is needed to fulfill the demand of water for future.
