abstract: water quality of dam storage is highly affected by upstream environment and basin. regarding other conducted studies, there exist various reasons such as some studies and general monitoring of dams which cause some main problems including salinity, chemical and microbial pollution eutrophication, and sedimentation. chame-gardalan storage dam in ilam province is one of the storages whi...

background: desalination plants have an important role in providing community drinking water. the increasing trend of water consumption and decrease of natural resources of fresh water make this role even more important. the aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of inlet and outlet water of desalination plants by reverse osmosis (ro) process in qeshm, iran and also to compare the qualit...

background: due to the lack of proper rail road and air transportation, most commutes in iran are carried out by buses. in most cases, the water in the busses is used for passengers for drinking usage. although this kind of water source has provided convince for the travelers, it could be a great risk in disease outbreak. the aim of this study is to determine the water quality in commuting buse...

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...

phytoplankton and zooplankton concentrations in pishin reservoir are predicted employing a three-dimensional numerical model in this paper. modeling is performed using a numerical model based on mass transport equation. advection, diffusion and source/sink processes are considered as separate subroutines for predicting the concentrations of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the reservoir. finit...

a long-term field experiment was conducted for 7 years to evaluate the effect of different amendments to mitigate the adverse effect of saline-sodic water in a calcareous soil under cotton-wheat cropping system. the pooled results over 7 years revealed that the application of saline-sodic water decreased the mean cotton-seed yield by 20.7% as compared to good quality canal water. however, wheat...

water quality is a serious issue in tropical grasslands that must be addressed to ensure the continuity and sustainability of water resources. this study aimed to assess the stream water quality of tropical grassland under long-term moderate (2.7 animal unit ha-1 y-1 for 34 years) and short-term heavy (5 animal unit ha-1 y-1 for 2 years) grazing systems at catchment and farm scales in kuala lum...
