Abstract: The use of the Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) in conjunction with a multi-sample graphical technique offers a robust indicator of geochemical evolution of ground water. HCA applied to identify geochemical processes controlling the ground water geochemistry of shallow aquifer system in the outer plains of Jammu and Kashmir State. HCA has good agreement with hydro chemical facies to reflect the process and pattern of the ground water flow in geological formation and it explains the distribution and genesis of ground water. Majority of the collected water samples have higher HCO3- than alkaline earth metals thus indicating base exchange-softened water
