Abstract
Groundwater is used for domestic, industrial water supply and for irrigation all over the world. Although threefourth of earth is being surrounded by sea only a little portion of it can be used for drinking purpose. To classify the ground water ability for different purposes various graphical plots like Piper tri-linear and Durov have been drawn. On the basis of piper diagram illustrated that the alkaline earth metals (Ca2+ + Mg2+) significantly exceed the alkalis (Na+ + K+) and strong acids exceeds weak acids. The dominant cation found in groundwater is Mg2+ and the dominant anion is Cl- type. The groundwater quality of Atmakuru is influenced by various natural and anthropogenic factors.
