Abstract

This study was performed for one year (during the period 2018-2019) to investigate Sweiber and Thouban springs water quality of which are located in AL-Diss Ashrqiya-Hadhramout, Yemen. The results showed that the values of the electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, sulphate, fluoride, manganese, calcium, potassium and water temperature are not within the permissible levels of Yemeni and World Health Organization (WHO) standards, therefore, the water of Sweiber and Thouban can be classified as undrinkable water. In comparison with the classifications adopted in this study, it can be concluded that the water of Sweiber and Thouban springs are not suitable for irrigation purposes, as it is water with acute problems.
