Hydrological drought analysis using SDI index in Halilrud basin of Iran Abstract Nowadays, drought is considered as damaging environmental phenomenon which affects natural resources and social communities. Therefore it will be an important issues that magnitude and effects of these phenomena to be considered. To do this we used L-moment method for regional homogeneity testing. The Streamflow Dr...

after the soviet union fragmentation, the attentions of regional and international countries have turned to this region for oil and gas discovery in the caspian basin. after that, this region enjoys more geopolitical importance increasingly. therefore, the main question is:” what factors can influence the new geopolitics of the caspian basin?” it seems that, some issues such as the lack of a...

in this study, the quaternary deformation and tectonic activity of saeedabad-chai drainage basin, are assessed using geomorphic approach. this drainage basin is located in northern slope of sahand mountain. north tabriz fault (ntf), is passing from the saeedabad-chai basin. variation in the morphology of mountain front provied the basis for geomorphic assessment of tectonic activity. therefore,...

We investigate viscoelastic impact basin relaxation on Pluto for a variety of thermal evolution scenarios encompassing both convective and conductive ice shells. Basins smaller than 200 km in diameter do not relax appreciably, while relaxation fractions can be up to ∼60% for large impact basins. The main control on basin relaxation is the amount of radiogenic heat produced in the rocky core; ou...

The Cuatro Ciénegas Basin (CCB) is a rare oasis in the Chihuahuan Desert in the state of Coahuila, Mexico. It has a biological endemism similar to that of the Galapagos Islands, and its spring-fed ecosystems have very low nutrient content (nitrogen or phosphorous) and are dominated by diverse microbialites. Thus, it has proven to be a distinctive opportunity for the field of astrobiology, as th...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have led the way in the treatment of aqueous waste and are rapidly becoming the chosen technology for many applications. In this paper, COD reduction potential of leather tanning industry wastewaters by Electro-Fenton (EF) oxidation, as one of the AOPs, was experimentally evaluated. The wastewater sample was taken from an outlet of an equalization basin in a ...
