Ground water samples were collected Matar taluka of kheda district was assessed in pre monsoon season from 1997 to 2001. Water quality assessment was carried out for the parameters like pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride, sulphate, Total Anion & Cation, Sodium Absorption ratio (SAR), magnesium, sodium, potassium,. Correlation coefficients were determined to identify the highly correlated and interrelated water quality parameters. Regression equations relating these identified and correlated parameters were formulated for highly correlated WQPs. Comparison of observed and estimated values of the different water quality parameters reveals that the regression equations developed in the study is very useful for making water quality monitoring by observing the above said parameters alone. This provides an easy and rapid method of monitoring of water quality of the water system studied.
