On the continental shelf near Cape Hatteras, cool fresh Mid-Atlantic Bight and warm salty South Atlantic Bight shelf waters converge alongshelf 90% of the time, causing strong alongshelf gradients in temperature and salinity known as the ‘Hatteras Front’. The resulting density gradient supports strong shoreward velocities in the cross-shelf oriented ‘nose’, of the Front in wintertime. To invest...

Population growth, urbanization, pollution, and climate change pose urgent water challenges in cities. In this study, the sustainability of integrated water resources management in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) was evaluated using the City Blueprint approach. The City Blueprint is a set of 24 dedicated indicators divided over 8 categories (i.e., water security, water quality, drinking water, sanitati...

collection and reuse of wastewater and sewage in agriculture, natural resources and green environment is one way to conserve water resources and environmental. the aim of this study were to investigate the effects of wastewater sirjan golgohar industrial on the characteristics of cultivated soils in several species of pasture trees. this study was performed at the sirjan city which is located i...

The present study has been conducted to assess the surface water quality of Halda River from September 2015 to March 2016. DO, BOD5, COD, pH, EC, Chloride, Alkalinity, and Hardness concentrations in water samples have been found to range within 0.93-5.15 mg/L, 30-545 mg/L, 43-983 mg/L, 6.3-7.3, 110-524 uS/cm, 12-56 mg/L, 35-67 mg/L, and 38-121 mg/L, respectively. Multivariate statistical analys...

In order to reduce the level of dithiocarbamate fungicide mancozeb residues in blackcurrants, two different ozone treatment procedures were evaluated. The first one entailed washing the plant material with an aqueous solution of ozone. This ozone enriched water solution allowed for a 59% reduction of mancozeb residues, compared with the initial concentration. The latter method was based on the ...

Background & Aims of the Study: Water resources are useful or potentially useful. Uses of water are included agricultural, industrial, household, recreational and environmental activities. The majority of human uses require fresh water. Rivers are parts of this fresh water that play a very important role in the water cycle, acting as drainage channels for surface water. Hence, ...

The need for finding fungicides against Fusarium is a key step in the chemical plant protection and using appropriate chemical agents. Existing, conventional methods of evaluation of Fusarium isolates resistance to fungicides are costly, time-consuming and potentially environmentally harmful due to usage of high amounts of potentially toxic chemicals. Therefore, the development of fast, accurat...

Bacterial populations inhabiting ultrapure water (UPW) systems were investigated. The analyzed UPW systems included pilot scale, bench scale, and full size UPW plants employed in the semiconductor and other industries. Bacteria present in the polishing loop of the UPW systems were enumerated by both plate counts and epifluorescence microscopy. Assessment of bacterial presence in UPW by epifluor...
