Although there is considerable on-going debate about the suitability and sustainability of community based water resources management (CBWRM) in Africa as a water provision strategy, evidence shows that this approach has gone a long way in promoting access to clean water amongst rural African communities. CBWRM provides an alternative approach to water provision for rural communities. This pape...

this research aimed to assess factors of water quality in ponds l. vannamei in site of bushehr helle and provide solutions to improve water quality shrimp l. vannamei were conducted in this area, during the period of 120 days. this studies was conducted across the 7- hectare pond with a density of 22 shrimp per square meter in breeding site of bushehr helle in 2013. from parameters of water oxy...

the qom formation in ghohrud area, have been investigated in order to determine its biostratigraphy and palaeoecology. the thickness of qom formation is 325 meters at the study area and consists of thin, medium to thick bedded and massive limestons. they underline on eocene volcanic with disconformably and its upper boundary is overlain by alluvium. based on thin section studies 14 genera and 2...

Oman depends on recycling treated wastewater as a solution to overcome the limited water supply. However, the risk of reusing recycled sewage water in the environment and public health is a major concern. Tertiary sewage treated effluent (TSE) was evaluated microbiologically from three sewage treatment plants (STPs). Mainly, all TSE from the three plants contained coliform and Escherichia coli....

With the development of nanotechnology, more nanomaterials will enter into water environment system. Studying the existing form of nanomaterials in water environment will help people benefit from the correct use of them and to reduce the harm to human caused by them for some nanomaterials can bring polluting effect. Aggregation is a main behavior for nanoparticle in water environment. NZVI are ...

Arsenic, a semi-metal, colourless, tasteless and odourless toxic element, is known as the “King of Poison” at present. Arsenicosis is a well-known chronic disease which occurs due to drinking of arsenic contaminated tube well water having arsenic level exceeding the normal level for a prolonged period. It is likely to create a significant health impact ranging from skin lesions to cancer culmin...
