abstract one of the problems in design of irrigation structures is sedimentation control in the inlet to the irrigation networks. water quality for agriculture requires that the sediments be controlled and reduced to the permissible limit at their entrance point to the turnouts and irrigation networks. this is possible by constructing a sedimentation basin. the bigger the basin, the best the re...

Soil conservation and control of erosion is a basic problem in all countries. The goal of this research is to estimate erosion and sediment yield in Ekbatan Dam drainage basin by Erosion Potential Method (EPM), using Geographic Information System (GIS). The basin is located in Hamedan Province, west of Iran, in a cold and semi- arid region, with an average annual rainfall of 334mm. The study ar...

Abstract Sedimentary successions exposed at basin margins as a result of late-stage inversion, uplift and erosion usually represent only limited portion the entire fill; thus, they are highly incomplete records evolution. Small satellite basins, however, might have potential recording more complete histories. The late Miocene sedimentary history Șimleu Basin, north-eastern vast Pannonian was in...

distribution of the genus chondrostoma in iran, which is mostly known from the caspian sea, tigris river, kor river and esfahan basins was mapped. the kura nase, chondrostoma cyri is reported from armenia, georgia and iran and it is found in the streams and rivers draining to the western coast of the caspian sea from the kuma river in the north southward to the kura and aras river basins in the...

A new species of lysianassid amphipod belonging to the genus Cheirimedon was collected on the continental slope of the Campos Basin, the largest oil reserve in Brazilian waters. This is the first record of the genus Cheirimedon from the Atlantic Ocean, which was previously restricted to the Antarctic and Tasmanian sea. The new species is fully illustrated and compared with related species. Addi...

Small-scale models are useful tools to study the interactions between debris flows and structures channels. modelling of remains however complicated because complex rheology scaling challenges these geophysical processes. An on-going a basin downstream channel where two fords bridge located is presented in this extended abstract. The studied torrent Manival catchment, near Grenoble France. We p...

One of the most effective parameters in economics of open-pit mines is the pit slope angle, so that the slope angle more than the optimum value increases the probability of a large failure in the pit wall and the slope angle less than the optimum value leads to increasing stripping ratio and reducing net present value of mine. Therefore, in this paper, considering the limit equilibrium methods ...

the asmari formation was deposited in the foreland basin of southwest iran (zagros basin). carbonate sequences of the asmari formation consist mainly of large benthic foraminifera along with other skeletal and non-skeletal components. three assemblage zones have been recognized by distribution of these large foraminifera in the study area that indicate oligocene age (rupelian-chattian). absence...

landslides and slope instabilities are major hazards for human activities often causing economiclosses and property damages. sikan river basin (ilam province) due to the topography, tectonic,lithology, and climate has enough potential for occurrence of this phenomenon. the objectives of thisstudy were to determine effective parameters controlling the landslide occurrence and to preparezonation ...
