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...

Evaluation of actual irrigation system perfonnance should rely on an accurate hydrologic water balance over the area considered. In a companion paper, water uses are categorized as consumptive or noncon­ sumptive, and beneficial or nonbeneficial. Real perfonnance is based on water uses over a specified period of time, rather than observation of a single irrigation event (with associate potentia...

In this article we introduce the principles to detect leakage using a mathematical model based on machine learning and domestic water consumption monitoring in real time. The model uses data which is measured from a water meter, analyzes the water consumption, and uses two criteria simultaneously: deviation from the average consumption, and comparison of steady water consumptions over a period ...

the relative impacts of different types of land use on the surface water quality are yet to be ascertained and quantified. in this paper, the influence of different types of land use on surface water quality is investigated. rain events samples from different land use in the central plateau, iran, were analyzed for major ions. statistical analyses were employed to examine the statistical relati...

development projects in natural water resources like rivers and lakes, specially transferring water to use in agriculture, domestic and industrial sector without considering environmental values, causes irrecoverable and irreversible damage to ecosystem and future options. if we consider the future generation and species rights, those damages and costs can be very much than we take in. the abov...
