Human activities in the recent years have considerably increased the rate of water pollution in many regions of the world. In this case study, the main sources of wastewater discharging into the Gargar River were identified. Using river and point source flow rates and water quality parameters measured along the river, the river water quality was simulated using a commonly used, one-dimensional ...

wetlands are ecosystems with specific features and functions which have been unfortunatelydamaged by recent pressures and limitations. fast reduction of surface flows, water and wind erosion of soil,changes in the quality of water and soil resources, increasing exploitation of underground water, agriculturaldevelopment, climate change, etc. have had the most effect on these ecosystems. so this ...

spatiality assessment of groundwater pollution is very important to determine water quality condition, pollution sources and management decisions. in this case, gis and geostatistics methods can be useful tools. spatiality of groundwater quality parameters, in relation with various land uses, can be very extremely. therefore water samples from 52 wells in the kurdan area were analyzed in this s...

background and purpose: water is the most important limiting factor of sustainable development. poor quality of water sources and lack of appropriate management in some regions are the main reasons of water crises in the country. this study was conducted to assess water sources quality and the trend of their change in rural area of sabzevar county in a five year period. materials and methods: i...

Groundwater aquifers are an important source of water supply for agriculture, industry and drinking. The present study investigates the changes in the quality of groundwater using geostatistical methods in the Ravar plain during a 10-year period. In this study, after selecting the appropriate spatial interpolation method to draw water quality parameters such as TDS, SAR and EC, zoning maps of R...

bamdezh wetland with the geographical coordinates of   north longitude, east latitude and an area of 44 square kilometers, is located in about 40 km northwest of ahvaz and shavur river is the main source of its supply. this wetland is not only a habitat and suitable food source for aquatic and migratory birds, but as well a significant resource of income for the locals. today, with the arrival ...

This study aims to identify and determine species diversity and richness of the Gastropods of the intertidal zone of Bushehr seaport coastal area and assess the ecological status of this area using Welch index. Sampling was carried out at 6 stations in Bushehr seaport in the winter and summer seasons during 2013-2014. Bed sediment sampling was done three times in each station and Gastropod samp...
