Abstract: It is well known that the Serrin condition is a necessary condition for the solvability of the Dirichlet problem for the prescribed mean curvature equation in bounded domains of $mathbb{R}^n$ with certain regularity. In this paper we investigate the sharpness of the Serrin condition for the vertical mean curvature equation in the product $M^{n}imesmathbbR$. Precisely, given a $mathscr{C}^2$ bounded domain $Omega$ in $M$ and a function $H=H(x,z)$ continuous in $overlineOmegaimesmathbbR$ and non-decreasing in the variable $z$, we prove that the strong Serrin condition $(n-1)mathcal{H}_{partialOmega}(y)geqnsuplimit{s}_{zinmathbbR}|H(y,z)|forallyinpartialOmega$, is a necessary condition for the solvability of the Dirichlet problem in a large class of Riemannian manifolds within which are the Hadamard manifolds and manifolds whose sectional curvatures are bounded above by a positive constant. As a consequence of our results we deduce Jenkins-Serrin and Serrin type sharp solvability criteria.
