This experiment was conducted for 150 days in 15 earthen ponds, 100 m2 in surface area and 1.2 m in depth, at the Institute of Agriculture and Animal science (IAAS), Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal. One cage (1.5 x 1.5 x 1 m and water volume of 2-m3) covered with 1-cm mesh net was suspended in each of the treatment ponds. There were one control and four treatments with three replicates each: carps at 1 ...

The design of stabilization ponds for the treatment of wastewater is traditionally based on empirical guidelines. Even more the hydraulic design is normally over simplify. However, the performance of a pond will highly depend on the proper hydraulic design. This paper present an approach that combines the traditional empirical design with the use of modelling tools to predict the performance of...

The copepod Diaptomus sanguineus begins diapause in permanent ponds in late March as an adaptation to avoid summer fish predation. During a study of copepod populations in two Rhode Island ponds, a severe drought dried one pond killing all fish. The second (control) pond did not dry, and no fish were killed. Before the drought copepods in the two ponds entered diapause on nearly the same date. ...

This study used particle size analysis to investigate the initial accumulation and trap efficiency of radiocesium ((137)Cs) in four irrigation ponds, ~4-5 months after the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant (DNPP) accident. Trap efficiency, represented by the inventory of (137)Cs in pond sediment to the inventory of radiocesium in soil surrounding the pond (i.e., total (137)Cs inventory), w...

Two clinical isolates and an environmental isolate of Edwardsiella tarda biogroup 1 (ETB1), recovered from liver pus, the stool specimen and from the pond water of the village of the patient, diagnosed to have liver abscess, were found to be identical by protein fingerprinting and ribotyping. It can be construed that the pond water served as the source of infection. The epidemiological triad of...

Water loss has become a problem with the balance of water system, including one in industry. General opinion considered evaporation as main justifications for explaining loss, especially area higher daily temperature. A study was conducted on wastewater treatment system owned by manufacturing industry consisting semi-open-air sedimentation and aeration ponds, which suddenly experienced signific...

The study evaluated the status of fish pond projects initiated in the 1980s on resource-poor farms in Guatemala and Panama. In both places, the host country and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) provided financial assistance and Auburn University provided technical support to the respective governments. The study examined the impact of aquaculture technology, extens...

—Most studies on orientation of movements of pond-breeding salamanders have considered only a single local population (or breeding pond) during 1 yr, or multiple populations during a single year. We quantified migratory patterns of Marbled Salamanders at nine breeding ponds during 5 yr in western Massachusetts. Based on captures at drift fences, movements were nonuniform at all breeding ponds. ...

Bauxite ore open-pit mining activities are conducted in spread areas and increase the potential for water pollution, implying a need good management. GeoWEPP is spatial model that predicts erosion magnitude location of sedimentation. This helps management control, including constructing settling pond. Therefore, purpose this study was to examine based on land use, topographic soil maps, as well...
