Measurement(2019)
Abstract
•Hydrochemical properties of drinking water (groundwater) of Bajaur agency were studied.•SO4−2, K+, NO3− and HCO3− concentrations in groundwater generally exceeded the WHO guideline values.•Pollution quantification factor were assessed via multivariate statistics viz. PCA and Gibbs plot.•PCA shows natural and anthropogenic origin for groundwater contamination.•CaHCO3 and NaHCO3 are the major water type of the study area.
