Abstract
This study is using Factor Analysis method to analyze the hydrographs of groundwater table for classification of recharge zone. The water table data are taken from 37 wells which located on unconfined aquifer in Pingtung plain. The result shows that 93% of total variance can be explained by three components. The 1th component is related to rainfall; the 2th and 3th are related to recharge from TungKang Basin and Kaoping basin, respectively.
