The karstic Rijab Spring with an average discharge of 3290 l/s is located in the Alvand River basin in the northwest of the Zagros, Iran, which drains Asmari formation. To investigate groundwater flow in the catchment area of the Spring, the physicochemical parameters include major cations and anions, discharge, EC, pH, and temperature were studied from September 2000-2002. The results indicate...

side weirs are flow diversion devices that are widely used in irrigation, drainage and urban sewage systems. the present study focuses on the investigation of the effect of oblique side weirs on the discharge coefficient of a side weir under subcritical flow condition in rectangular channels. in this study 106 laboratory tests were conducted and the results were analyzed to find out the influen...

Hourly streamflow timing, as revealed by diurnal fluctuations in discharge in snowfed watersheds, provides a new tool for understanding transport times and processes in river basins. Travel time delays at different basin scales were measured in nested subbasins (6 to 775 km) of the Tuolumne River in Yosemite National Park throughout the spring 2002 and 2003 melt seasons. The travel time increas...

This is a study of the impact of cyanide from mining waste on riparian communities, primarily vegetation, near Whitewood Creek, downstream from Homestake Gold Mine in Lead, South Dakota. Cyanide is used in gold processing, and the effluent, until fairly recently, was discharged directly into Gold Run Creek which empties into Whitewood Creek. Vegetation, soil, and water were collected from four ...
