Egypt is one of the most vulnerable countries to the potential impacts and risks of climate change. More than 95 % of the water budget of Egypt is received from the River Nile, which is very sensitive to temperature and precipitation changes. Aswan High Dam (AHD) reservoir, one of the largest man-made lakes in the world, is almost the sole source of freshwater to the country; hence, Egypt reali...

An Internet of Things (IoT) platform with capabilities of sensing, data processing, and wireless communication has been deployed to support remote aquatic environmental monitoring. In this paper, the design and development of an IoT platform with multiple Mobile Sensor Nodes (MSN) for the spatiotemporal quality evaluation of surface water is presented. A survey planner is proposed to distribute...

Kosovo has limited natural water resources which should be well managed. This is recently realised through quantitative and qualitative monitoring of both surface and groundwater and by characterizing their quality according to their destination. In this paper, the Water Quality Index (WQI) developed by the Canadian Council of Environment Ministers (CCME WQI) was applied to evaluate the groundw...

In this work, the possibility of using four water quality indices (WQIs) to evaluate status small rivers in Mediterranean region (Northern Greece) was investigated. The WQIs selected were NSF WQI, Oregon CCME WQI and Prati’s Index Pollution applied three rivers, namely Laspias, Kosynthos Lissos, located prefectures Xanthi Rhodope, Northern Greece. individual calculated based on values 11 physic...

The purpose of this study is to determine the quality water samples from Nnewi and Awka areas ascertain their health risk safety for human consumption. In Canadian Council Water Quality Index [CCME WQI] methodology was used borehole, well, rainwater collected towns Anambra. Nine parameters were evaluation, namely: pH, electrical conductivity [EC], nitrates [NO3-], sulphates [SO42-], chlorides [...

A Water Quality Index (WQI) is a useful statistical tool for simplifying, reporting and interpreting complex information obtained from any body of water. A simple number given by any WQI model explains the level of water contamination. The objective was to develop a WQI for the water of the Luis L. Leon dam located in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. Monthly water samples were obtained in 2009; ...

The present study was carried out to evaluate the ameliorating effect of Caesalpinia crista Linn. (CCME) extract on iron-overload-induced liver injury. Iron overload was induced by intraperitoneal administration of iron dextran into mice. CCME attenuated the percentage increase in liver iron and serum ferritin levels when compared to control group. CCME also showed a dose-dependent inhibition o...
