Water is the main option of any development, so having an accurate management of groundwater is necessary. This study has been done in Damghan sedimentary plain in Iran, which is located in northwest of Semnan Province. The main objective of this research was to estimate the rate and right site of recharge in Damghan plain to prevent the aquifer from decreasing the water table. For this purpose...

background: groundwater nitrate pollution is an important environmental problem in water resources management. in this regard, specific measures aiming at prevention of water pollution will be helpful to managers and decision-makers. identification of aquifers’ vulnerable areas and determination of groundwater protection zones using most widely used models, such as drastic and cd, are one of th...

abstract management of water resources in iran is faced with growing demand for water resources, a considerable increase in the costs of supplying additional water and uncontrolled exploitation of underground waters. economists suggest water pricing to improve water use efficiency; however, government tends to reject that advice due to political risk, economic and cultural concerns. we used a p...

The site under study covers an area of 273 km in the Oristano plain on the west coast of Sardinia (Italy). Since 1950 the plain, formed during the Quaternary by alluvial deposits, has been under intensive cultivation and is an important dairy farming centre. In the coastal region, the large number of wells (25,000 tapped and not) some very close to each other, has resulted in over-exploitation ...
