Guilan province is located in south and south-west of the Caspian Sea. Guilan is one of the richest and the most humid region in the country due to suitable climate, ample rainfall and many water sources (springs, rivers, creeks,..),. Despite the prevailing favorable conditions, limnological studies, especially in the mountainous regions of this province are limited. A limnological study was co...

Hydrographically Bolivian Poopó Lake is located in the basin of Desaguadero River and it has over a dozen main tributary rivers and other smaller rivers with lower flow. The mine water discharge from the abandoned and current mining activities polluted these rivers by carrying heavy metals, dissolved and suspended solids which in turn polluted the Poopó Lake which is considered as an important ...

Abstract. The main objective of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is to remove pathogens, nutrients, organics, and other pollutants from wastewater. After these contaminants are partially or fully removed through physical, biological, and/or chemical processes, the treated effluents discharged into receiving waterbodies. However, since WWTPs cannot all contaminants, especially those emerging ...

The chemical and microbiological properties of Lebanese perennial coastal rivers were studied during the dry season extending from July to September 2004. The results indicate significant levels of pollution in all eight rivers. Although many physical and chemical variables were within WHO guidelines for drinking water, coliform levels were unacceptably high indicating pollution from untreated ...

Water samples were collected from Okamini stream and analyzed for some physicochemical parameters. The values showed that electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, suspended chlorides, sulphates, nitrates phosphates within the range of acceptable domestic water use by WHO. Others such as turbidity, pH salinity not in human consumption. Although, at time evaluation may be an alarming situ...

Flow-rate measurement in rivers under different conditions is required for river management purposes including water resources planning, pollution prevention, and flood control. This study proposed a new discharge estimation method by using a mean velocity derived from a 2D velocity distribution formula based on Tsallis entropy concept. This procedure is done based on several factors which refl...

During the ageing of in-service medium voltage equipment, electrical losses are mainly due to partial discharges. These partial discharges can lead to the electrical failure of industrial equipment [1]. Partial discharges include (i) bulk discharges occurring in insulating material voids, (ii) corona discharges affecting or not the insulator and (iii) surface discharges developing on an insulat...
