several studies suggest that invertebrate abundance and richness are disrupted and reset at confluences. thus, junctions contribute disproportionately to the overall aquatic biodiversity of the river. in general terms, authors have reported high abundance and diversity due to the major physical heterogeneity at junctions. however, data are still scarce and uncertainties are plentiful.the impact...

in this paper, two formulas were chosen among those that estimate the suspendedsediment discharge in rivers. these two formulas were lane and kalinske and bagnold. forstudying and knowing the correlation between input parameters and calculated suspendedsediment discharge (cssd), the spss17 software was used. input parameters in these twoformulas were as: water velocity, water discharge, suspend...

The Kolleru Lake is a famous Ramsar wetland of international significance. In this study heavy metal contents in water and sediment samples are reported. It is found that certain potentially toxic metal ions like chromium (4.5-80 µg/L), copper (1-20 µg/L), manganese (1-313 µg/L) and zinc (1.2-57 µg/L) are present in variable quantities in the lake water. When normalized with respect to concentr...
