A pilot study on the spatial distribution of iron concentration in the groundwater of Dimapur district, Nagaland, India

The increasing uncontrollable anthropogenic activities, and geogenic intervention have majorly depleted the groundwater quality globally. Dimapur district, India is one such case polluted by the significant excess presence of iron concentration. Data reports on the assessment of groundwater quality are unfathomable in the region. Thus, our prime objective sets up What amount of iron concentration is present? How many of those data points possess a high concentration? and how the prediction model works in a particular area of Dimapur town. We then used a spatial non-parametric regression method on the experimental results to further predict the water parameters in areas where no water samples could be collected. Finally, we compare these contours for different water parameters and connect them with the geographic and functional properties of various locations in the studied region.
