Assessment of water quality was conducted from June to December, 2011 in five stations along the stretch of the Benin River between Ajimele and Koko town in attempt to assess and determine the source of anthropogenic activities affecting the river. Twentyfour parameters have been monitored on 5 sampling stations on a monthly-day-trip. Inter station comparisons and locations of significant diffe...

This study aims was to identify impact of economic development factors the environment quality by using Kuznet's Curve Hyphotesis and non linear regression. The determinants studied are indicators such as Gross Domestic Regional Income (GDRI) industrial sector, mining agricultural/plantation /forestry/fishery/livestock sectors, poverty, unemployment human index (HDI). While environmental used W...

This paper analyzes water quality from four hydrological stations in the Nišava river basin 2009–2018 based on following parameters: pH, conductivity, O 2 saturation, BOD 5 , suspended solids, total oxidized nitrogen, phosphates, turbidity and coliform bacteria. Authors have applied WQI (water index) as most reliable indicator of watercourses pollution for setting surface flow quality. Statisti...

Rivers are the main sources of water for agricultural purposes in Malaysia. The Seberang Perai Rice Irrigation Scheme in the state of Penang is one of the eight main rice growing areas in Malaysia. The scheme consists of five (5) sub-schemes and irrigation water for each sub-scheme are supplied from either the Muda river, Jarak river, Kulim river or the Kerian river with pumping or gravity inta...

The study aimed to assess the relationship between surface water quality and diversity of planktonic communities in An Giang province, Vietnam. national technical regulations on quality, index (WQI), Shannon-Wiener (H') were applied evaluate quality. considerable influence parameters dominant plankton was determined by canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) similarity percentage (SIMPER). resu...

Water quality indices (WQIs) have been developed to assess the suitability of water for a variety of uses. These indices reflect the status of water quality in lakes, streams, rivers, and reservoirs. The concept of WQIs is based on a comparison of the concentration of contaminants with the respective environmental standards. The number, frequency, and magnitude by which the environmental standa...

Surface waters become more and more polluted, depending on human activities around them. The current study has been conducted to evaluate the impact of Syrian civil war on water quality of the Turkish part of Orontes River. For so doing, it has obtained monitoring data between 2006 and 2014 from state of Hydraulic Works of Turkey, analyzing them via Water Quality Index (WQI) and Principal Compo...

In an effort to better portray changing health conditions in Chesapeake Bay and support restoration efforts, a Bay Health Index (BHI) was developed to assess the ecological effects of nutrient and sediment loading on 15 regions of the estuary. Three water quality and three biological measures were combined to formulate the BHI. Water quality measures of chlorophyll-a, dissolved oxygen, and Secc...
