groundwater quality in nour coastal plain in mazandaran province of iran is assessed by measuring physicochemical parameters including total dissolved solid, electrical conductivity, ph, total hardness, major cation and anion compositions and nitrate pollution. for this purpose, fifty groundwater samples were collected in july 2012. the hydrochemical types, ca–hco3 and mg–hco3 dominate in all s...

in this study, the effects of long term use of urban wastewater (over 40 years) on soil salt content and related parameters were evaluated in the lands south of tehran. for this analysis, kriging methods were tested. according to the suitable model indices, ordinary kriging (ok) was suitable for ph, clay, na+, mg2+ and sodium adsorption ratio (sar) interpolation; log-normal kriging (log-normal ...

The physico-chemical properties of water and sediments therein were analyzed for assessing the suitability of Siddheshwar dam (India) waters for irrigation purpose. The physical parameters include total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity. The chemical parameters studied include pH, free carbon dioxide, total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, phenolphthalein alkalinity, t...

Groundwater is one of earth’s most vital renewable and widely distributed resources as well as an important source of water supply worldwide. The increased exploitation of groundwater resources can decrease regional water quality as a whole. The estimation of sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) and chloride content, and also, Na, Ca and Mg concentration are much more timeconsuming and expensive than ...

Subsurface-tile drainage is designed to remove gravitational water and soluble salts from the soil-root zone. However, soil swelling, as influenced by soil Na and electrical conductivity (EC), will reduce saturated hydraulic conductivity. The objective of this research was to determine the influence of Na and EC on the amount of water retained at field capacity (33 kPa), in northern Great Plain...

The purpose of this research is the zoning of groundwater quality for agriculture usages in the Eyvanakey plain, conjugating Interpolation methods by Geographic Information System (GIS) and selection of the best weights in Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Achieving this aim, groundwater quality data from 19 wells in Eyvanakey plain were used. First, raster maps of the study area was prepared...

introduction: boron (b) is an essential plant micronutrient whose soil availability is influenced by many soil factors.understanding the processes controling activity of boron (b) in the soil solution is important for soil fertility management. the reaction of adsorption and desorption of boron in soil determines the amount of boron that is available to plants. adsorption–desorption processes p...
