the idea of systems analysis and mathematical modeling for formulating and resolving river pollution issues is of relatively recent vintage and has been applied widely in the last 3 decades. the present study illustrates the utility of beck-modified khanna–bhutiani model (bmkb) to determine the pollution load due to the presence of organic matter in river ganga from its course from devprayag to...

This paper investigates a nano-enhanced wireless sensing framework for dissolved oxygen (DO). The system integrates a nanosensor that employs cerium oxide (ceria) nanoparticles to monitor the concentration of DO in aqueous media via optical fluorescence quenching. We propose a comprehensive sensing framework with the nanosensor equipped with a digital interface where the sensor output is digiti...

(DO) is considered the most important water quality variable in fish culture. In the broadest sense, however, dissolved oxygen concentration is no more important than other environmental variables because any factor that is outside the range tolerated by fish can cause stress or death. What makes dissolved oxygen concentration so important in intensive fish culture is the speed with which it ca...

Background& objectives: Zarrinehrud River is one of the most important permanent and water-rich rivers in West Azerbaijan province located in the catchment area of Lake Urmia. In this study, to evaluate the quality of the Zarrinehrud River, with a length of 57.5 kilometers from the outlet of Noroozlou to the drainage dam to the Lake Urmia, QUAL2K computer simulation model was used. Methods: Th...

both climate change and anthropogenic impact are creating a dynamic of continuous changes in ecosystems. while the expected consequences of these changes are global, the occurrence of extreme events and specific environmental problems are usually local or regional phenomenon. in particular, the coastal ecosystems are among the first vulnerable areas to show those changes; in spite of this, are...

Although microbial fuel cells (MFCs) generate much lower power densities than hydrogen fuel cells, the characteristics of the cathode can also substantially affect electricity generation. Cathodes used for MFCs are often either Pt-coated carbon electrodes immersed in water that use dissolved oxygen as the electron acceptor or they are plain carbon electrodes in a ferricyanide solution. The char...

the accurate estimation of reaeration rate coefficient, because of its effects on dissolved oxygen in rivers, is one of the most important initial steps of water quality management. the main goal of this paper is to evaluate the effects of reaeration rate coefficient on the river water dissolved oxygen, case study dinachal river, iran. to achieve these aims, water quality samples were collected...

An in-situ experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of tropical storm on the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) loads in Litopenaeus vannamei rearing ponds. White spot syndrome virus loads, heterotrophic bacteria, Vibrio and water quality (including temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity, pH, NH4-N, and NO2-N) were continually monitored through one tropical storm. The WSSV loads d...
