River Hindon is an important river catering the demand of highly populated rural and industrial cluster of western Uttar Pradesh, India. Water quality of river Hindon is deteriorating at an alarming rate due to various industrial, municipal and agricultural activities. The present study aimed at identifying the pollution sources and quantifying the degree to which these sources are responsible ...

We offer a model for integrated water quality management. The proposed model integrates water protection, land and water use, preservation of ecosystem sustainability, preservation of functional unity of catchment and river flow and socio-economic activity in the catchment. The model has been developed on the basis of combining existing models, including balancing, deterministic (2D) and statis...

In this study, the onion (Allium cepa) root test was used to evaluate the genotoxicity of the Pitimbu River (Natal city, Brazil) surface water. The water was collected at five sampling sites along the river and one sample was obtained after the treatment (flocculation, chlorination and pH correction) of the river water for human consumption. All raw river water samples increased the frequency o...

The transfer of water, sediment, and other materials to floodplains is a function of the hydrology of inundation. Inundation of floodplains by regional water, that is, overbank flow from the main river channel, and local water, that is, groundwater, hyporheic water, local tributary water, and direct precipitation onto the floodplain, is such that some rivers inundate dry floodplains, while othe...

Mobile phone based potable water quality assessment device is developed to analyze and study water pollution level at Indus river. Indus river is habitat of endangered Indus river dolphin and water pollution is one of major causes of survivability threats for this specie. We tested device performance at the six locations of Lahore canal. pH of canal water deviates from the normal range of the i...

conclusions according to the average of wqi index, quality of water was good in station number one, medium in station number two, and bad in the rest of stations. according to the wilcox index, qualities of water in third station were medium and in the rest were good. results by using wqi, the best water quality was reported in station number one with the scalar quantity of 71.11 (water with be...

water and sediment samples were collected from six different stations, located along the nil river between february and june 2015. concentrations of cadmium, lead, zinc, and copper were determined. the extent of the sediment pollution was assessed, using the multiple pollution indices, namely contamination factor (cf), pollution load index (pli), and the geoaccumulation index (igeo). the result...

in this study, the concentrations of heavy metals (ca, zn, cu, fe, mn, ni) in thesediment of shavoor river in khuzestan province in iran has been investigated. after the library studies and field studies, six samples of water and sediment were taken from the river in order to evaluate heavy metal pollution in sediments. to determine the geochemical phases of metals in sediment samples the 5-ste...

karun river is the largest and most watery river in iran. this river is the longest river which located just inside iran and ahvaz metropolis drinking water supplied from karun river as well (fa.alalam.ir). karun river as the main source of water treatment plants in ahvaz, like most surface waters affected by various contaminants which caused changes in water quality of the river (www.aww.co.ir...
