The application of a Web-geographic information system for improving urban water cycle modelling

Modelling the urban water cycle

Current urban water management practices aim to remove stormwater and wastewater efficiently from urban areas. An alternative approach is to consider stormwater and wastewater as a potential resource substitute for a portion of the water imported via the reticulated supply system. A holistic view of urban water resources provides the framework for the evaluation of the demand for water supply, ...

Investigation of the Benzene Concentration and Distribution in Tehran Using Geographic Information System Modelling

Introduction and purpose: Air pollution has been recognized as the most important environmental risk factor worldwide. Benzene which is one of the four pollutants attributed to BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene) has been proven to be a carcinogenic component. These pollutants can be easily absorbed and taken into the body via inhalation. With this background in mind, the present ...

Urban landscape and quality of urban environment by means of geographic information system

Quality of urban environment as a subset of quality of life now represents the search for happiness and personal satisfaction in urban environment and is a broad concept which is concerned with the overall well-being in urban environment. The purpose of this study was to investigating the quality of urban environment according to the 5 urban landscape indicators; Land use, Green space, Populati...

Improving farming practices using multi-criteria decision analysis in geographic information system for Damask Rose cultivating

Lack of awareness of the critical factors involved in production of plants and sometimes, the cultivation of plants in areas unsusceptible to plant, can increase the amount of chemical fertilizer consumption in order to compensate the subsequent reduction of plant yield. This would increase environmental pollution. Thus, identifying of suitable areas where could supply plants initial needs of t...
