Abstract
The general aim of the project is to make an analysis for the water quality in El Wahat El Bahariya, Egypt. Elevated iron content has been found throughout various wells, from which water is abstracted and is used for agricultural purposes.
With the established water analysis, it is hoped that further analysis and action can be done in order to reduce the iron content as elevated iron content of more than 5 mg/l is not recommended by Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) for agricultural purposes. An average of 36 mg/l has been found and therefore has passed its limit.
Statistical analyses have been made with the help of cross correlation diagrams and box-whisker plots for essential parameters. To visualize the location, a map has been made with the help of Google Earth Pro engine and QGIS including its wells.
