In this study, a water quality model of Haraz basin was used as an evaluative tool to estimate the spatial distribution of variables that are related to water quality and nutrient loads of the Haraz River. Previous studies performed in this river indicate that trout culture activity along the Haraz River have led to various changes in the water quality parameters. In the present work, the possi...

Suspended particles in rivers can act as carriers of potentially bioavailable metal species and are thus an emerging area of interest in river system monitoring. The delineation of bulk metals concentrations in river water into dissolved and particulate components is also important for risk assessment. Linear relationships between bulk metal concentrations in water (CW,tot) and total suspended ...

The focus on small isolated populations provides important insights into the factors affecting the distribution of inheritable traits. Here, we present a report on the distribution of the CCR5 ∆32 mutation in the so far unstudied innate Sudanese population of Shagia people. The genetic material (buccal swabs) was collected from 125 individuals living in three African villages, Abu Haraz, Shibab...

in this study, age and growth for two populations of shemaya, chalcalburnus chalcoides, in haraz and shirud rivers were investigated from april to june 2006. 704 fish specimens were collected using a cast- net. the maximum length and weight in a 5- year old female observed were 251 mm and 96 gr, respectively. the most abundant age groups were 2+ and 3+ years for male and female respectively. wh...

more than 30% of iran's land is formed from mountainous areas. so each year, landslides cause damages to structures, residential areas and forests, creating sedimentation, muddy floods and finally deposit the sediments in reservoir dams. therefore, for preventing of this damages and expressing the sensitivity rate of hillslopes, landslide hazard zonation is considered in prone areas. the p...

The aim of this study was to investigate the seasonal and spatial variations in concentrations a widely used organophosphorous pesticide (OPP), diazinon, associated risk posed by OPP surface water from three largest rivers located northern province Iran: Haraz, Talar Babolrood rivers. These are agriculture Mazandaran, exposed high doses organophosphorus pesticides, especially diazinon. concentr...

Haraz-Ghareh Su is one of the seven sub-basins of the Caspian basin, located on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea, and as such, is in danger of water crisis due to absence of proper systematic policy and strategy. In this study, the pressure factors on the Haraz-Ghareh Su water resources were identified using DPSIR model. Then, the pressure parameters on the freshwater resources in the Cas...
