To the best of our knowledge, no water quality testing is in effect nor any regulations exist for water stored in main or secondary water tanks within the urban compound boundary, for groundwater wells or for water transported in trucks and stored in tanks in rural environments. The cyanobacterially-produced BMAA isomer AEG was present in all but one of the rural water samples and was significantly correlated with chloride ions that surpassed the FAO warning concentration (>355 mg/l) by about 2.5 times, potentially causing severe restrictions to crop health and yield (Table 1 and Table 2; FAO, 1994). In an independent study on the physicochemical characteristics of groundwater in Qatar, it was observed that Cl− and fluoride (F−) were above drinking water standards and F− and molybdenum (Mo) were above the regulatory concentrations for irrigation water (Kuiper et al., 2015).
