Analyzing important ground water parameters in West Bengal with a fuzzy approach in the context of arsenic pollution

Abstract

The problem of arsenic pollution in the ground water of West Bengal (WB), India may be a geochemical happening, but the matter is yet unsolved. To identify correlation amongst the ground water parameters (GWP), fuzzy regression analytical technique has been utilized and it is established that Na, K, Fe, pH and hardness have distinct correlations in arsenic prone areas and non-arsenic prone areas.
