Abha is one of the top destination for tourists
attraction in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which has
resulted in exponential growth in development in terms of
buildings, roads etc. This development has added to the ever
growing water demand in the area. The study is a preliminary
investigation into the present groundwater quality of the
Abha City, further study will be under taken on the basis of
the current study results. The samples have been collected
from the farm wells situated in the city along the rain water
streams. The samples were analysed in terms of pH,
conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen and Solids. The study
determined the pH value to be within the permissible range
while other three parameters were not conforming to the
permissible limits needing further research work to determine
their causes.
