Global-Scale Environmental Effects of Hydrological Alterations: Introduction

environmental effects of gol-e-gohar iron ore mine on groundwater of the area

gol-e-gohar iron ore mine of sirjan in southern part of iran is a large open pit that operates below the groundwater table and during mining operation, dewatering is required to prevent operation processes from flooding. current operation is going on by digging wells in or out of the pit and pumping to prevent flooding. as a result of the former dewatering operation a vast deep cone of depressi...

Value of river discharge data for global-scale hydrological modeling

This paper investigates the value of observed river discharge data for global-scale hydrological modeling of a number of flow characteristics that are e.g. required for assessing water resources, flood risk and habitat alteration of aquatic ecosystems. An improved version of the WaterGAP Global Hydrology Model (WGHM) was tuned against measured discharge using either the 724-station dataset (V1)...

Global Effects of Environmental Pollution

In December 1968, during its annual meeting, the American Association for the Advancement of Science convened a symposium on the Global Effects of Environmental Pollution. In the words of the organizer of this symposium, Mr. S. Fred Singer, the purposes "were to discuss the worldwide effects which may arise from local pollution and to try to uncover, if possible, hitherto unsuspected effects wh...
