in the last decade, the water level of urmia lake has experienced a dramatically drop. although the causes of this lose have been investigated, the significance of groundwater supplies had not been concerned so much. in the present research, groundwater resources around the lake were explored as its water supplier. the number of wells and groundwater withdrawal has been increased because of cul...

groundwater is the main source of potable water in most areas of mazandaran province, like sari and babol city. thus the safety of groundwater supplies is very important in these regions. unfortunately attention to groundwater quality has remained limited in iran. in recent years, the growth of industry, technology, population, and water use has increased the stress upon both land and water res...

background: although experiments on water quality are time consuming and expensive, models are often employed as supplement to simulate water quality. artificial neural network (ann) is an efficient tool in hydrologic studies, yet it cannot predetermine its results in the forms of maps and geo-referenced data. methods: in this study, ann was applied to simulate groundwater quality and geographi...

Quantitative changes in groundwater and crises resulting from uncontrolled water extraction have turned water resources management into one of the supply-demand dilemmas in arid regions. The present study evaluated the quantitative situation of water resources in the Ardestan Plain adjoining the Ardestan desert by using the MODFLOW mathematical model. Simulation of groundwater flow in the stead...

changes in groundwater quality, is caused destruction of other resources, either directly or indirectly, due to bad management of groundwater extractions. considering the importance of groundwater resources, especially in arid and semiarid regions, this research was done to modeling the spatial distribution of some groundwater qualitative factors with emphasis on drinking using geostatistical m...

This research investigates the changes of soil properties in Dasht-e Abbas plain due to the Karkheh water transfer to this plain. In thisstudy, the maps of groundwater level changes before and after the utilization of irrigation system were prepared. Furthermore, toinvestigate the changes of soil characteristics, soil samples were collected from various project implantations and control areas a...

groundwater can be used directly or indirectly and any decline in its quality or quantity maynegatively impact the environment. through groundwater valuation, people are made aware of the fact thatgroundwater is not free of charge and therefore the significance of groundwater preservation is established. in this study, groundwater quality preservation value has been estimated for the city of ya...
