A study of hydrochemical processes in the capital of Andhra Pradesh was carried out with an objective of identifying the geochemical processes and their relationship with ground water quality as well as to get an insight into hydrochemical evaluation of ground water. Various graphical plots and other parameters of groundwater were compared with different water standards and other conventional methods of data analysis were also used to evaluate the quality of ground water for utilitarian purposes based on the ionic constituents, water type and hydrochemical facies.
