“…Yemen suffers from limited drinking water supplies, and groundwater is the main source of water supply for domestic uses, drinking, and irrigation purposes (Aqeel et al, 2017). Therefore, insuring the quality of surface and groundwater is of profound importance.…”

Quality Assessment of Ground Water in Dhamar City, Yemen

et al. 2018

Chemical and statistical regression analysis on groundwater at five fields (17 sampling wells) located in Dhamar city, the central highlands of Yemen, was carried out. Samples were collected from the ground water supplies (tube wells) during the year 2015. Physical parameters studied include (values between bracket s represents the measured mean values) temperature (T, 25°), total dissolved solids (TDS, 271.47), pH (7.5), and electrical conductivity (EC, 424.18). The chemical parameters investigated include total hardness (TH, 127.45), calcium (Ca2+, 32.89), magnesium (Mg2+, 11.03), bicarbonate (HCO3̶, 143.84), sulphate (SO42-, 143.84), sodium (Na+, 35.11), potassium (K+, 6.28) and Chloride (Cl ̵, 22.69). The results were compared with drinking water quality standards issued by Yemen standards for drinking water. Except for T° and pH, all other measured parameters fall below the minimum permissible limits. The correlation between various physio-chemical parameters of the studied water wells was performed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. The obtained results show that all water samples are potable and can be safely used for both drinking and irrigation purposes. This comes in agreement with the public notion about groundwater of Dhamar Governorate. Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR) values were calculated and found below 3 except for one drill. The results revealed that systematic calculations of correlation coefficients between water parameters and regression analysis provide a useful means for rapid monitoring of water quality.International Journal of EnvironmentVolume-6, Issue-4, Sep-Nov 2017, page: 56-71

Groundwater is a natural resource that is used in a variety of fields, which has an impact on its quality. In many places of the world, fluoride-enriched water has become a major public health concern. It is necessary to investigate the geochemical mechanism of fluoride enrichment in drinking water. In Yemen, groundwater is the only supply of water, and its quality is critical because it determines the groundwater’s usefulness for drinking and other domestic purposes. The primary goal of this chapter is to gain a better understanding of factors that influence high fluoride levels in groundwater and its impacts from selected parts of Yemen. The elevated ion concentrations in groundwater are most likely due to water-rock interaction, according to the regional hydrogeochemical investigation. The main findings of this review indicate that the children in the area who get their drinking water from wells with high fluoride levels are suffering from dental and skeletal fluorosis. The population in the research area is at high risk due to excessive fluoride intake, particularly in the absence of knowledge about quantity of fluoride consumption.

The selection of an appropriate treatment plan for cases of dental fluorosis depends on the severity of the condition. Ceramic veneers are considered the treatment of choice for moderate to severe cases of fluorosis given the optimum aesthetics, wear resistance, biocompatibility, and long-term results of these veneers. This case report describes a step-by-step rehabilitation of fluorosed teeth, using ceramic veneers in a 26-year-old Yemeni male. The patient presented at the restorative dentistry clinics at King Saud University complaining of an unpleasant smile and generalized tooth discoloration.
