considering the water scarcity in iran and the importance of environmental protection, it is approperiate to investigate the environmental management of siah-rud river. it is a small river being utilized as discharge channel by factories located in the vicinity of the river. the physico-chemical characteristics of river water at 10 different sampling locations 'along with coefficient of ae...

there are different methods for controling the flood damages which one of them is flood zoning. in this method, flood zones are determined by simulating river hydraulic behavior and its flood plain for different return periods.in other hand, soil and specially plant coverage are the most effective factor to determine manning roughness coefficient. so it is expected, seasonal plant coverage chan...

the protection and use of recreational areas as a sustainable resource can be a very significant issues, especially when they are located within a protected areas. different management approaches such as limits of acceptable changes (lac) can be performed to provide the balance between the use and the protection of resources. lac method is one of the planning frameworks that are used in tourism...

a fish species prefer a particular habitat where provides its biological requirements, hence, understanding their habitat use and preferences are crucial for their effective management and protection. this study was conducted to assess the habitat use and selection patterns of alburnoides namaki , an endemic fish in jajroud river, namak lake basin, iran. the river was sampled at 18 equally spac...

the main purpose of this research is to evaluate the hydrochemical properties, con-trolling processes and metal concentrations in kaka-reza river water (lorestan province). to this end, 15 water samples were collected and physicochemical prop-erties (ph-ec), cation-anion contents along with concentrations of some heavy metals were determined using the standard analytical methods. the results re...

background: the spread of urbanization in floodplains as well as increase of industrial and agricultural activities in river discharges may lead to water pollution by physical, chemical and biological pollutants. one of the major concerns in monitoring the water resources system is indentifying major quality parameters and determining a relationship between physical and chemical parameters. thi...

riparian vegetation is a component of river system that performs certain basic functions including primary vegetative production, protecting stream banks from erosion, trapping sediments, promoting water quality, wildlife habitat and fisheris, forage for livestock, etc. in this research, spatio-temporal change of vegetation riparian area of aghbolagh-river as an upstream of karoon-river for 65-...

the quality of the river water is assessed in different months in different stations to evaluate the change in the quality in re1ation with the various point sources along the river. thirteen parameters were measured in the samples manually taken from three meters off shore in 20 cm. depth in four points representing the quality in four reaches under consideration. the results revealed that nat...

this paper provides information on the geographic distributions of two cyprinid species: hemiculter leucisculus (basilewsky, 1855) and alburnus caeruleus heckel, 1843, in the world and the entire drainage systems in iran. the new distribution records were taken from maroon river (jarrahi river system) and chardaval river (karkheh river system), both in tigris river basin showing wide and narrow...
