Assessment of Falaj Water Quality

Aflaj irrigation systems, vital to Oman's water supply with 92% used for irrigation and the rest for domestic purposes, face significant contamination risks due to continuous human interventions. A study assessing water quality in Samail, Oman, found that biological contaminants pose substantial health hazards, necessitating proper disinfection measures. The research evaluated physical, chemical, and biological parameters, revealing alarming levels of contamination that could lead to adverse health effects if left unaddressed.
