Water samples were collected from 14 open wells, 34 bore wells, and two reservoirs to study the groundwater quality in Greater Visakhapatnam city. The samples were analysed for various parameters, like temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, hardness, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, sodium, potassium, chloride, and alkalinity. Correlation and Regression methods are applied to these parameters and the influence of one parameter on the other have been discussed.
