Management of groundwater quality is very important in arid and semi-arid areas. In this study, satellite images from TM, ETM and OLI sensors were used to evaluate the impacts of land use changes on groundwater quality for 1990, 2007 and 2015 in Shabestar basin. After processing and analyzing images, the basin was classified into five land use classes including pasture, bare land, farming, gard...

groundwater is a major source of water for domestic, industrial, and agricultural sectors in many countries. the main objective of this research was to provide an overview of present groundwater quality using parameters such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, chloride, sulfate, ph, and electrical conductivity (ec) in the mehran plain, ilam province using gis and geostatistical techniques. a total o...

Groundwater recharge with reclaimed municipal wastewater presents a wide spectrum of technical and health challenges that must be carefully evaluated prior to undertaking a project. This review will provide a discussion of groundwater recharge and its management with special reference to health and regulatory aspects of groundwater recharge with reclaimed municipal wastewater. At present, some ...

In addition to geological, hydrological and hydrogeological invcstigations and $roundwater tracing, detailed surveyin of the groundwater quality IS becoming particular1 important for environmental impact monitoring on karst aquifers. &roundwater qualitydata contain NO types of information, i.e. the natural chemistry of water and its caused by anthropognicimpacts. The method of results presentat...

Background: A new method has been presented specifically for zoning the quality of groundwater for drinking purposes; this method is the groundwater quality index (GQI) method. The present research used the GQI method to qualitatively zoning of the Lenjan groundwater for drinking purposes. Methods: Three phases were applied in this research. In the first phase, working on the quality data of 3...

background: groundwater is the most important source of water supply in industries and agricultures; therefore the need to protect this valuable resource against pollution is felt more than ever. in this study, the possible impact of yazd municipal solid waste landfill was investigated on the chemical quality of the area’s groundwater. methods: groundwater samples were collected from three well...

yazd province is one of the most arid regions of iran and its agriculture particularly pistachio cultivation depends on groundwater resources. in the recent decades, natural factors (drought and severe evaporation) and human activities (over- exploitation of groundwater) caused a sharp decline in the quality and quantity of groundwater in this province. in the present study, the spatial and tem...

The prime objective of this research is to study and examine the groundwater decline and its effect on the quality of groundwater in aquifer of Torbat Jam plain for a period of 19 years. Torbat Jam plain stretching over an area of about 3500 km2, in northeastern part of Iran. The plain is considered as a semi-arid to arid zone. It has gained substantial importance because of agricultural prospe...

The pig industry is the most crucial animal industry in Taiwan; 10.7 million pigs were reared for consumption in 1996. A foot and mouth disease (FMD) epidemic broke out on 19 March 1997, and 3,850,536 pigs were culled before July in the same year. The major disposal method of pig carcasses from the FMD outbreak was burial, followed by burning and incineration. To investigate groundwater quality...

The usage of reclaimed water can efficiently mitigate water crises, but it may cause groundwater pollution. To clearly understand the potential influences of long-term reclaimed water usage, a total of 91 samples of shallow and deep groundwater were collected from a typical reclaimed water use area during the dry and rainy seasons. The results suggest both shallow and deep groundwater are mainl...
