Abstract Ground water quality surrounding a sugar factory was studied for the impact of effluent discharged by the industry by applying multivariate statistical techniques. Although the samples recorded the EC values well within the permissible range and a close assessment of the analysis and the evaluated statistical approach disclosed that the overall quality of ground water was suitable for domestic purpose. Concentrations of cations Na+, K+, Ca+, and Mg+ varied from 67 to 43, 2.2 to 1.1, 70 to 106, and 25 to 37 ppm, respectively. Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and K+ were major cations in chronological order accompanied by HCO3-, Cl-, and SO42- for the major anions. Na+ was the most widespread cation and K+ was the lowest abundant, whereas bicarbonates were the most common and SO4 was the least significant cation under anions. More than 95% of the samples fall under Doneen's Class I category, and every sample demonstrated SAR values below 10, which indicated high suitability for applying water domestic as well as for crops.
