The Zayandeh-Rud River Basin in the central plateau of Iran continues to grapple with water shortages due a water-intensive development path made possible by primarily supply-oriented management approach battle limits growth. Despite inter-basin transfers and increasing groundwater supply, recurring associated tensions among stakeholders underscore key weaknesses current paradigm. There was an ...

decreasing water resources has made optimum water allocation in agriculture essential. planning optimum irrigation and crop production function considering accessible water and growing stage is an efficient approach to increase water productivity. studies have applied this approach to maximize crop production using the fao crop production method introduced in 1979. however, the fao introduced a...

Abstract The impact of climate change on water availability has become a significant cause for concern in the Zayandeh-Roud Reservoir Iran and similar reservoirs arid regions. This study investigates supply River Basin. For better management, Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to develop hydrologic model basin. then calibrated validated two upstream stations using Sequential Uncer...

Zoning the pollution of a river may be the first or even the most important step in water quality management. In order to resolve its pollution, fuzzy clustering analysis may be used whenever a composite classification of water quality incorporates mutiple parameters In such cases, the technique may be used as a complement or an alternative to comprehensive assessment. In fuzzy clustering ...

in the recent years, human activities have led to changes in land use and land cover, consequently, these changes lead to the structure and function of ecosystems. spatial-temporal change detection of land use is important to understand the relationships and interactions between human and natural resources and to make appropriate decisions due to changes in land use and land cover occurs in bro...

Aphaniusisfahanensis is a new endemic killifish species that has been described in the Zayandeh River of the Isfahan basin in Iran. During a study on the biology of nine fish from this species, the parasite Diplostomumspathaceum was observed in the aqueous humor of the eye of a single individual. It was visible as a white mass with a diameter of 0.38 mm. This is the first report on the infectio...
