Abstract

The present study has determined Multiple Regression Analysis in between physico-chemical parameters and diatoms in Manair dam, Karimnagar. Such as Temperature, pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Hardness (TH), Calcium (Ca2+), Magnesium (Mg2+), Chloride (Cl-), Sulphates,  Carbonates (CO32-), Bicarbonates (HCO3-) Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and organic matter etc., using a statistical method. There is a relationship between variables which shows that one variable actually causes changes in another variable. A regression provides an excellent tool for calculating of various water quality parameters within reasonable degree of accuracy. The results proved to be a useful mean for rapid monitoring of water quality with the help of systematic calculations of correlation coefficient between parameters and regression analysis.
