In recent years, water quality degradation associated with rapid socio-economic development in the Taihu Lake Basin, China, has attracted increasing attention from both the public and the Chinese government. The primary sources of pollution in Taihu Lake are its inflow rivers and their tributaries. Effective water environmental management strategies need to be implemented in these rivers to imp...

A survey of the River Kali in western Uttar Pradesh (India) has been carried out to assess the contribution of point and non-point sources of pollution to the river. The river shows strong seasonal dependence for various constituents and the water quality deteriorates sharply as it flows through Muzaffarnagar city. The important characteristic associated with the pollution of the river is the d...

Xiawanggang River region is considered to be one of the most polluted areas in China due to its huge amount discharge of pollutants and accumulation for years. As it is one branch of Xiang River and the area downstream is Changsha city, the capital of Hunan Province, the ecological niche of Xiawangang River is very important. The pollution treatment in this area was emphasized in the Twelfth Fi...

The Beshar River is one of the most important aquatic ecosystems in the upstream of the Karun watershed in south of Iran which is affected by point and non point pollutant sources . This study was done in order to evaluate the effects of pollutants activities on the water quality of the Beshar river and its aquatic ecosystems. This river is approximately 190 km in length and situated at the geo...

This paper presents an overall view of major sources that may lead to the pollution of the Tigris within Mosul city. A stretch exceeding 20kms in length is selected that represents the "sick" path of the river. Many sites along the studied stretch are likely to affect the river quality in some way or another. Samples from 40 sources sites are taken for quality analyses These sources--as huge as...

A large complex water quality data set of a polluted river, the Tay Ninh River, was evaluated to identify its water quality problems, to assess spatial variation, to determine the main pollution sources, and to detect relationships between parameters. This river is highly polluted with organic substances, nutrients, and total iron. An important problem of the river is the inhibition of the nitr...

phytoplanktons are the first bio- indicators of pollution in aquatic ecosystems. phytoplankton assemblage and aquatic ecosystems are always influenced by environmental factors therefore these environmental changes and threats must be understood in any ecosystem. phytoplankton are inexpensive and readily available bio- indicators. in the present study, phytoplankton were used to study the sefid ...

objective: zayandehrood habitat has economical and environmental importance in central plateau of iran    and it performs a vital role for habitants, agriculture section and the industries which are located along river bed. so current research  has been done to measure the contamination of heavy metals, its changes along the river route and defining the important and effective regions on this c...

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...

The present investigation deals with the zooplanktons together with water quality of Panchganga river, in Kolhapur city, Maharashtra. This investigation was undertaken fora period of one year. The river Panchganga is a highly contaminated downstream with untreated sewage and industrial effluents, while flowing through Kolhapur city. The high value of CO2, BOD, COD, phosphate, nitrate, Zn, Fe, C...
