BACKGROUND Using treated wastewater in agriculture irrigation could be a realistic solution for the shortage of fresh water in Iran, however, it is associated with environmental and health threats; therefore, effluent quality assessment is quite necessary before use. The present study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical and microbial quality of Shiraz wastewater treatment plant effluent for b...

background and purpose: today, by increasing different pollutants, the continuous monitoring of surface waters is essential. dorudzan dam is one of the main sources of surface water in fars province, iran; hence, the current study investigated the quality  of dorudzan reservoir for drinking and irrigation consumptions. materials and methods: in this study, various physicochemical parameters [ph...
