On Water Quality of Nagaland, North-eastern India: A Short Review and Statistical Analyses

Water is an integral part for human survival but around 2.1 billion people do not have excess to safe drinking water and 4.5 billion people lack proper sanitation. The human needs and demands have built up the rapid growth of industrialization which alternatively has severely affected the stability of water. In the case of Nagaland, there is a mass knowledge gap on water related problems and its ill effects among locals which have not been identified to this extent. Dimapur district of Nagaland being the fastest developing city of Nagaland has severely affected major sources of water bodies but monitoring and documentation on the water bodies is very scanty. In this article we have presented some articles from neighboring northeastern states of India as Nagaland shares its boundary to these states and have similar geographical features. Then secondary data from research articles of Nagaland was examined to understand the contamination level in the region. Further statistical methods such as descriptive statistics, Correlation, regression, factor analysis was analyzed on the secondary data to give a better understanding on the behavior of water pollutants within the region.
