a case study was carried out to see the impacts of shrimp culture on the surface (pond) and ground water (tube-well) quality in three coastal sub-districts of bagherhat sadar, rampal and morrelganj of bangladesh. the people of rampal (100%), morrelgonj (87.5%) and bagherhat (75.5%) expressed that salinity of both surface and ground water increased after shrimp culture, and water becomes more tu...

abstract this study was conducted to determine the impacts of different drip irrigation method and amount of water on yield and water use efficiency of tomato in varamin agricultural research center, iran. the study was done during two years. experimental design was randomized complete blocks design (rcbd) in split plot with three replications. three different drip irrigation method; surface dr...

Distributed irrigation systems are those in which the water access (via pump or human power), distribution (via furrow, watering can, sprinkler, drip lines, etc.), and use all occur at or near the same location. Distributed systems are typically privately owned and managed by individuals or groups, in contrast to centralized irrigation systems, which tend to be publicly operated and involve lar...

detention rockfill dams are accounted as economically efficient structures for flood control, river bed and banks protection, flow diversion, etc. as the hydraulic behavior of these structures, when are used for flood control, is affected by the depth of water in their porous media, there are interests to predict water surface profile through the body of these structures. in this research, we d...

background: the concentration of heavy metals in drinking water is very important. objectives: to to evaluate the chemistry of some heavy metals in surface drinking water of dakahlia governorate, egypt. methods: 51 surface drinking water samples were collected from the main surface water stations and compact units in october 2009 and analyzed chemically. 26 water samples were analyzed by atomic...

The purpose of this study was to identify the concentration of multi-elements (MEs) in source water (surface and drinking water) and assess their quality for sustainability. A total of 161 water samples including 88 tap drinking waters (DW) and 73 surface waters (SW) were collected from five cities in Xi'an, Yan'an, Xining, Lanzhou, and Urumqi in northwestern China. Eighteen parameters includin...

This study examined the surface-wetness effects in calculating dust generation source regions, using Asian aerosol model version 3 (ADAM3; control run; CNTL). Model sensitivity experiment was conducted such a way that CNTL is compared against three ADAM3 versions with various effect schemes. The dust-generation algorithm ADAM_RAIN utilizes precipitation, while scheme ADAM3_SM1 and ADAM3_SM2 emp...

wall-jet flow is an important flow field in hydraulic engineering, and its applications include flow from the bottom outlet of dams and sluice gates. in this paper, the plane turbulent wall jet in shallow tailwater is simulated by solving the reynolds averaged navier-stokes equations using the standard  turbulence closure model. this study aims to explore the ability of a time splitting method ...

conjunctive use of ground and surface water can increase reliability of the water supply by providing independent sources. in this study, corrected utility-efficient pro-gramming that allows for more than one seasonal irrigation depth for each crop was used to determine the amount of utility maximizing investment in the well capacity for conjunctive use. results showed that optimum investment a...
