Abstract

Ground water is the main principal source for drinking water and other activities in Yemen. It is an indispensable source of our life. The problem of ground water quality obtains high importance in this present-day, whether in the Arabic region or the other countries in the world. In this paper, a statistical regression analysis method of twenty one data points of drinking water at four fields (21 wells) for Al-Mukalla city, Hadhramout, Yemen was carried out in the study. This technique was based to study and calculate the correlation coefficients between various physicochemical parameters of drinking water at studied wells for Mukalla city. The results revealed that the systematic calculations of correlation coefficient between water parameters and regression analysis provide useful mean for rapid monitoring of water quality.
