Water types and carbonate saturation model of groundwater in middle Governorate (Gaza strip, Palestine)
This study was carried out in the Middle Governorate of Gaza Strip, Palestine. The coastal aquifer is the main source of water for domestic, agricultural, and industrial purposes in the study area. During the last three decades the aquifer has deteriorated to a high degree in the quality and quantity due to the over-pumping and the encroachment of seawater. Hydrogeochemical analysis for ground...
متن کاملBiodesalination: a case study for applications of photosynthetic bacteria in water treatment.
Shortage of freshwater is a serious problem in many regions worldwide, and is expected to become even more urgent over the next decades as a result of increased demand for food production and adverse effects of climate change. Vast water resources in the oceans can only be tapped into if sustainable, energy-efficient technologies for desalination are developed. Energization of desalination by s...

Utilizing a pH-stat method, the rates of mucosal and serosal alkalinization were measured separately in the seawater eel intestine. These two rates were dependent on contralateral HCO3" concentration and were inhibited by contralateral application of DIDS, an inhibitor of HCO3~ transport, indicating that the mucosal and serosal alkalinization are due to HCO3~ secretion and absorption, respectiv...
متن کاملChemical, physical characterization and salinity distribution of the oilfield water in the Upper Sandstone Member of the Zubair reservoir at Rumaila North Oilfield, Southern Iraq
The oilfield water in the Upper Sandstone Member of the Zubair reservoir (Barriemian-Hauterivian) at Rumaila North Oil Field was investigated for the interpretation of salinity and geochemical evolution of brine compositions. The interaction of the oilfield water with reservoir rock resulted in a brine water derived from the marine water origin of partial mixing with meteoric water similar to t...
