Water quality of some wells in Taiz City (Yemen Republic) and its surroundings.
Bacteriological and physicochemical parameters were determined in water samples collected from fifty-one producing wells used for human consumption in Taiz City (Yemen Republic) and its surroundings. Most water samples, especially from private wells, contained a high concentration of total coliforms which greatly exceeded the permissible limits recommended by the World Health Organization in 1996. Fecal coliforms were found in the majority of polluted sampled waters (65% of the total of wells examined).
