This study aims to determine the Water quality and validity in Falaj Sa'ara in Buraimi State After a break of 16 years as the statement of the problem is that we noticed the fear of parents about the quality of water for drinking, especially after the period of long break in addition to the proximity of homes from the foothills of the streams, which may cause pollution of this water. The research questions are What are the efforts exerted to ensure the quality of the falaj water and its continuous flow, and what the extent of the water quality at Umm al-falaj, and at the Busandh tower and the falaj channels in the sharia area, and what the extent of the water validity for drinking. It will be through interviews with officials of the Directorate General of the Regional Municipalities and Water Resources in the governorate and with the agent of the falaj and the application of the water protocol , taking measurements of salinity, acidity, conductivity, transparency, temperature and dissolved oxygen percentage in different locations (Umm al-Falaj, Busandh Tower,Falaj Sharia) In cooperation with the the Water Resources Department staff. We reached the following results: There are great efforts exerted by the Water Resources Department at the Directorate General of the Regional Municipalities and Water Resources in Buraimi to maintain the falaj continuously and to ensure that it continues to flow. After analyzing the water we found that the values of conductivity and soluble salts are good at Umm al-Falaj and at the tower of Bu Sanadh, while rising clearly in Falaj Sharia, The transparency values are more than 120, which means that the water is very transparent and the pH value is approximately 7 at Umm al-Falaj, but it ranged between 8.12-9.58 at the Busandh Tower and Falaj Sariah, which a proportion that is not suitable for drinking, dissolved oxygen content (4-5 mg / L). Therefore, the water of the falaj is suitable for irrigating crops, but it is not suitable for drinking except in Umm al-Falaj.The recommendations of the research are: that the Directorate General of Regional Municipalities and Water Resources of the governorate to raise awareness of the community to maintain the cleanliness of the falaj, and not to contaminate the chemicals or detergents and guide them not to waste water, whether the distribution of pamphlets or through the media. And monitoring the sewage tanks (sinks) in the buildings near the Falaj Canal until the arrival of the sewage network in addition to the maintenance of the falaj and the inspection of water periodically
