background: rivers and streams are important sources of surface waters. water quality of these resources depends on many factors including hydrologic, physicochemical and biological factors. these resources are important in terms of social, economic and political development.. zayanderood river is the only river in central basin of iran that has permanent fresh water. this river has an importan...

gully erosion is one of the most complicated and destructive forms of water erosion. in order to prevent this erosion, the important factors advancing gully head must be recognized. nowadays, several models have been proposed in measuring gully head advancement and identifying the severity of erosion. these models must be calibrated for each country to see whether they are applicable or not. so...

the quality of the river water is assessed in different months in different stations to evaluate the change in the quality in re1ation with the various point sources along the river. thirteen parameters were measured in the samples manually taken from three meters off shore in 20 cm. depth in four points representing the quality in four reaches under consideration. the results revealed that nat...

the aim of this research is the study of trends in annual precipitation changes in some selected stations located in the sefid rood basin, applying the man-kendall non-parametric technique. the method is one of the most frequently used non-parametric techniques for trend analysis of precipitation on an annual scale. six synoptic stations located in the sefid rood basin were selected for the ana...

Zoning the pollution of a river may be the first or even the most important step in water quality management. In order to resolve its pollution, fuzzy clustering analysis may be used whenever a composite classification of water quality incorporates mutiple parameters In such cases, the technique may be used as a complement or an alternative to comprehensive assessment. In fuzzy clustering ...

abstract the climate change was known to force local hydrology, through changes in the pattern of precipitation, temperature and the other hydrological variables. in this research, the impact of global warming on maximum and minimum temperature, precipitation and evapotranspiration (wheat, corn, tomato and sugar beet) of kashafrood basin under two climate change scenarios (a2 and b2), and the o...

barbus sublimus, described by coad and najafpour (1997) as a new species, was retrieved first from the aala rood, a river in khuzestan province, southwestern iran. in our latest sampling a population of this species was found, for the first time, in fahlian rood, a river in a different water basin, in fars province, southwest of iran, where no specimen of the species was collected in previous s...
