this contribution determines suitable fingerprinting properties for sediment source discrimination within theamrovan and atary catchments in semnan province, iran. these catchments are representative of a range of geology formations and should therefore provide a meaningful basis for a general assessment of the degree of sediment source discrimination afforded by a range of fingerprint properti...

Following deglaciation, the long-term pattern of change in diatom communities and the inferred history of the aquatic environment are affected by a hierarchy of environmental controls. These include direct climate impacts on a lake’s thermal and hydrologic budgets, aswell as the indirect affects of climate on catchment processes, such as weathering, soil development, microbial activity, fire, a...

The application of metaldehyde to agricultural catchment areas to control slugs and snails has caused severe problems for drinking water supply in recent years. In the River Thames catchment, metaldehyde has been detected at levels well above the EU and UK drinking water standards of 0.1 μg l-1 at many sites across the catchment between 2008 and 2015. Metaldehyde is applied in autumn and winter...

The average number of weta found in artificial refuges at different sites ranged from a maximum of < 0.1 weta per refuge in the Kaweka Range to c. 1.5 weta per refuge in the Turitea catchment (Figs 8 & 9). The period before the first weta were found in these refuges varied from 1–9 months after they were set out, depending on both the site and the time of year (Figs 8 & 9). Most weta were found...

abstract rainwater harvesting (rwh) is one of the most effective water resources management techniques for confrontation with water shortage condition. rwh which is basically known as a traditional method, has been developed rapidly and being used widely in dryland countries throughout the world. rwh is defined as collecting and storing rainwater from nearby catchment and delivering it to plant...
