Abstract

A research was conducted at Amansie West District in the Ashanti Region of Ghana to establish the correlation between irrigation water quality parameters from the major rivers and their tributaries. Data collected were subjected to statistical analysis SPSS version 20. Pearson correlation coefficient was estimated to test the degree of relationship between irrigation water quality parameters. There was positive correlation between SAR and Ca, Mg, K, Na, ECw, and TDS except the ratio of Ca: Mg which showed negative correlation. Analysis of the correlation between SAR and HCO3- and CO32- is highly recommended.
