Groundwater is a major drinking water resource in arid coastal regions. The groundwater quality of Bosaso city experienced degradation due to rapid urbanization and industrialization. This study was carried out delineate the spatial distribution parameters evaluate suitability for irrigation uses. samples were collected from Plain determine pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved soli...

A regional groundwater quality evaluation was conducted in the deep Maastrichtian aquifer of Senegal through multivariate statistical analysis and a GIS-based water index using physicochemical data from 232 boreholes distributed over whole country. The aim to 1) identify types likely factors influencing hydrochemistry, 2) determine suitability for drinking irrigation. Results showed that sodium...

River Hasdeo is life line for many district and villages that came across its bank. The water is used for various purposes like as drinking water, in agriculture etc. hence one of the greatest concerns for the water consumers with respect to the quality of drinking water is contamination with pathogenic microorganisms and various industrial effluents. Microbiological river water quality is obli...

In Algeria, liberalization reforms undertaken since the 1990s have resulted in negative effects on the development and management of irrigation schemes, as well as on the conditions of farmers. Reforms have been undertaken to improve the performance of irrigation schemes, such as the national plan of agricultural development (PNDA) in 2000 and the water pricing policy of 2005. However, after im...

Drinking games are a risk factor for behavioral and health problems among university students. Previous cross-sectional research by Hone, Carter, and McCullough (2013) replicated well-established sex differences in drinking game behaviors (i.e., that men are more active drinking game participants than are women) and university drinking problems more generally. Hone et al. (2013) also found that...

Simulations are used to generate plausible realisations of soil and climatic variables for input into an enterprise land suitability assessment (LSA). Subsequently we present a case study demonstrating a LSA (for hazelnuts) which takes into account the quantified uncertainties of the biophysical model input variables. This study is carried out in the Meander Valley Irrigation District, Tasmania...
