The Zarivar Lake a freshwater lake in west of Kurdistan Province is home for large number of native plant and animal species therefore water quality and health of the lake are vital for conservation of these species. The present study aimed at evaluation of the Zarivar Lake using NSF- WQI as an indicator of water quality. WQI is a suitable tool to examine and classify spatial and temporal varia...

Groundwater is essential for both water supply and environmental conservation, especially in semi-arid desert areas. Managing groundwater resources requires a thorough understanding of characteristics dynamics. The hydrogeochemical properties evolution the Essaouira synclinal basin northwest Morocco were studied this research, with 105 samples collected 2009, 2017, 2018, 2019. Water Quality Ind...

Taihu Lake is the third largest freshwater lake in China. Water ecosystems play an important role survival and development of human society. The evaluation water ecosystem services helpful to understand grasp changing rules Lake’s value recent years. First, we used Environment Qualities Index (WQI) evaluate ecological quality Lake; second, on basis survey data from 2010 2018, combined economic ...

Abstract The Niger River, threatened by human activities, is the main drinking water source for population of Bamako city. This study assesses trend River pollution in using Water Quality Index (WQI). Fourteen parameters, namely Turbidity, Potential Hydrogen (pH), Electrical Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen, Total Solids, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Chemical (COD), Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammoniu...

BACKGROUND Public health is at risk due to chemical contaminants in drinking water which may have immediate health consequences. Drinking water sources are susceptible to pollutants depending on geological conditions and agricultural, industrial, and other man-made activities. Ensuring the safety of drinking water is, therefore, a growing problem. To assess drinking water quality, we measured m...

This paper analyzes water quality from four hydrological stations in the Nišava river basin 2009–2018 based on following parameters: pH, conductivity, O 2 saturation, BOD 5 , suspended solids, total oxidized nitrogen, phosphates, turbidity and coliform bacteria. Authors have applied WQI (water index) as most reliable indicator of watercourses pollution for setting surface flow quality. Statisti...

The Water Quality Index (WQI) is an important parameter in describing the water resources' suitability for human uses and one of most effective methods quality indicative assessing utilization health ecosystems. WQI Canadian Council Ministers Environment (CCME) was used study to describe Shatt al-Arab Basrah Southern Iraq, its drinking use. data analyzing river samples were adopted from five st...

Fuzzy Water Quality Index (FWQI) was applied in order to assess the degree of drinking water resources in Yazd province, Iran. Thisstudy has also offered the creation of a new fuzzy water quality index (FWQI) to evaluate this tool’s applicability. 12 chemicalparameters including toxic and non-toxic heavy metals measured in 71 groundwater samples collected from drinking water resourcesin rural a...

Egypt is one of the most vulnerable countries to the potential impacts and risks of climate change. More than 95 % of the water budget of Egypt is received from the River Nile, which is very sensitive to temperature and precipitation changes. Aswan High Dam (AHD) reservoir, one of the largest man-made lakes in the world, is almost the sole source of freshwater to the country; hence, Egypt reali...
