ICP-MS is effective tool for the simultaneous analysis of multi-elements in water. In this article, we attempted to comprehend the regional characteristics of four areas (West-Owari, East-Owari, West-Mikawa and East-Mikawa) by the quantification of the 35 elements in groundwaters used as raw water. Through our experimental simultaneous multi-elements analysis of groundwaters using ICP-MS, the regional characteristics of raw waters were confirmed. Additionally, multivariate analysis was applied to element concentrations in groundwater of the sampling points. This analysis revealed that raw waters in Aichi Prefecture were divided into three groups of West-Owari, part of West-Mikawa and the other by the distribution of element concentrations. In the future, the sampling points will be increased to clarify the details of the regional characteristics and relationship between raw waters and tap waters. Furthermore, this study is considered useful to respond appropriately to health related crisis and the elements which toxicity became identified.
