Abstract Background and purpose: According to the reported problems in area of the inappropriateness of water quality which used for washing and staining of car apparatuses in a car factory, this research was carried out for identification of physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics of the consumed water in Babol car factory, Iran. Materials and Methods: Physical and chemical par...

Groundwater aquifers as one of the main sources of water supplies are faced with different risks such as level dropping due to lack of precipitation, and natural and non-natural pollutants. Thus, it is extremely necessary to monitor ground water quality. In the present study, the concentration of cations, anions, and some toxic metals was evaluated in 21 rural water supplies in Qorveh plain in ...

the paper presents the case study of the current formation of a brazilian pit lake from an iron ore mining activity. the water used for the filling of the lake comes from rain, ground water and the complementary pumpage from a close river. at its final stage, which will be reached around year 2018, lake aguas claras will have a surface area of 0.67 km2 and the depth of 234 m, which will make it...

four explicit finite difference schemes, including lax-friedrichs, nessyahu-tadmor, lax-wendroff and lax-wendroff with a nonlinear filter are applied to solve water hammer equations. the schemes solve the equations in a reservoir-pipe-valve with an instantaneous and gradual closure of the valve boundary. the computational results are compared with those of the method of characteristics (moc), a...
