Sequestration of CO2 in oil reservoirs is considered to be one of the feasible options for mitigating atmospheric CO2 building up and also for the in situ potential bioconversion of stored CO2 to methane. However, the information on these functional microbial communities and the impact of CO2 storage on them is hardly available. In this paper a comprehensive molecular survey was performed on mi...

Jay R. Lund, Professor Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of California, Davis Davis, CA 95616 [email protected] ABSTRACT Theoretical hydropower operation rules are derived and discussed for reservoirs in parallel, in series, and single reservoirs for cases where reservoirs typically refill before they empty and for parallel reservoirs when reservoirs are expected to ...

Fracture reservoirs contain most of the oil reserves of the Middle East. Such reservoirs are poorly understood and recovery from fractured reservoirs is typically lower than those from conventional reservoirs. Many efforts have been made to enhance the recovery and production potential of these reservoirs. Fractured reservoirs with high matrix porosity and low matrix permeability need a seconda...

Background: This study aimed to evaluated trends for iron and manganese concentrations in wells, reservoirs, and water distribution networks in Qom city during the summer of 2012. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The studied scopes consisted of groundwater (60 wells), reservoirs (10 tanks), and water distribution network (33 points). One sample was taken from each source monthly. Stat...

Theoretical hydropower operation rules are derived and discussed for reservoirs in parallel, in series, and single reservoirs for cases where reservoirs typically refill before they empty and for parallel reservoirs when reservoirs are expected to draw down to empty. These hydropower rules offer a simplified economic basis for allocating storage and energy in multireservoir hydropower systems. ...

Graham, J. L. and J. R. Jones 2009. Microcystin in Missouri reservoirs. Lake Reserv. Manage. 25:253–263. During summers (May–Aug) 2004–2006, 177 Missouri reservoirs were sampled monthly at open pelagic locations to assess regional patterns in microcystin concentration, frequency of occurrence over successive summer seasons and relations with environmental factors. Microcystin was detected in 58...

[1] We report original data on nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes from two tropical reservoirs, their rivers below the dam, and from natural aquatic ecosystems and rainforest soils in French Guiana and Panama. We also review published N2O fluxes from other tropical reservoirs and natural environments. We show that: (1) N2O emissions from tropical reservoirs occur mainly at the reservoir surface, fluxes...

This study aimed to understand how the introduction of Cichla kelberi in Rosana Reservoir (Paranapanema River) affected the native ichthyofauna. Data on the structure of the small fish fauna assemblage were obtained before and after the introduction of this carnivorous species. Samplings were carried out in February and September of 2004, previously to the register of Cichla kelberi in the rese...
