Abstract For turbidity removal, most drinking water treatment plants are using coagulants due to the presence of suspended and colloidal materials at coagulation flocculation units. Aluminium sulphates salts widely used coagulants, such as aluminium sulphate (Alum) ferric chloride. However, several researches have linked Alzheimer's disease use sulphate. Hence, scholars conducted on possibility...

The measurement of river discharge is necessary for understanding many water-related issues. Traditionally, river discharge is estimated by measuring water stage and converting the measurement to discharge by using a stage–discharge rating curve. Our proposed method for the first time couples the measurement of water-surface width with river width–stage and stage–discharge rating curves by usin...

This article presents six case studies of the experiences of Turkish women whose husbands were labor migrants. The article opens with an overview of labor emigration from Turkey to developed countries in Europe starting in the early 1960s and continues with a review of the literature that considers migrant women as an analytical category. The literature review then addresses the prevalent emp...

Instream flow needs (IFN) assessment studies are performed to provide guidelines for stream water management and to assess the impacts of different water projects such as weirs, dams and stream diversions on the available fish habitat. The physical habitat simulation is one of the IFN assessment methods and also a powerful tool in management of river ecosystem that has not become a common metho...

A real-life application of a new approach to integrated assessment and screening of water quality improvement strategies in large river basins is presented. The approach is based on the integration of diverse data and mathematical models as well as on the application of interactive visualization of the Pareto frontier. The case study water quality planning in the Oka River, the Volga River basi...

This study examined the cladoceran assemblages in three oxbow lakes of the Taquari River floodplain, near the transition between the plateau and the plain. We sought to answer the following questions: does the Taquari River function as a geographical barrier or dispersal corridor for Cladocera? Can different degrees of connection induce different structures in the assemblages in each lake? Clad...
