to comparison the photosynthetic parameters and leaf chlorophyll content and fluorescence of safflower (carthamus tinctorios l.) cultivars under salinity stress, a pot experiment was carried out as factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in summer 2011 in university of yasouj. first factor included four salinity levels (zero, 75, 150 and 225 mm (formed as 20 to 1...

Perchlorate (ClO4 ) has been detected in numerous ground and surface waters, and has recently been added to the drinking water Candidate Contaminant List in the United States. Perchlorate can be removed from drinking water using ion exchange, but this results in the production of highly saline (7–12%) perchlorate-contaminated brines. Perchlorate-degrading microbial enrichments capable of growth...

Israel and the Palestinian Authority share the southern Mediterranean coastal aquifer. Long-term overexploitation in the Gaza Strip has resulted in a decreasing water table, accompanied by the degradation of its water quality. Due to high levels of salinity and nitrate and boron pollution, most of the ground water is inadequate for both domestic and agricultural consumption. The rapid rate of p...

abstract in this study, seven main field crops of the rudasht and abshar irrigation networks of esfahan (with 54,000 ha designed command area) such as wheat, barley, onion, sunflower, fodder mays and sugar beet were selected and swap model was calibrated by inverse modeling base on field experiments results in order to determine crop water salinity production functions. field experiments were c...

Effect of salinity on sprouting water uptake, ion uptake and metabolic efficiency of wheat seeds in the variety kanchan were studied in Jaydebpur. The treatments were 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16dS salinity level. The experiment was set in CRD with four replications. There were 50 seeds per petridish. Seeds were moistened with saline solution. Germination was recorded up to 72 hours with an interval of 1...

Brackish water lake is home of peculiar organisms, as its salinity is middle of those of sea and fresh water. Its salinity changes sensitively with sea level, river flow rate and lake topography. Hinuma Lake is one of brackish water lakes in Japan and connects with the Pacific Ocean through a tributary and a major river. Therefore the inflow process of salt water to the lake is very complex. Th...
