the present study aims to have a comparative study of the results, from biological monitoring as well as conventional method, based on physico-chemical variables. water quality index (wqi) and planktonic diatom metrics have been used to determine water quality and ecological conditions of the dong nai river (dnr) and canonical correspondence analysis (cca) to find out the main environmental var...

The Haihe River basin is one of the most developed regions in China. With the rapid economic development and associated increases in water demand, the river basin has been enduring increasing water stress. Water for the ecosystem use has been compromised and the environment has been deteriorating. Water shortage has become a bottleneck to the further development of the economy and grain product...

Manasi River basin is located in the north foot of Tianshan Mountain, south edge of Zhunger Basin, central-north Xinjiang province, with typical arid features of northern China. As the pressure on water resources in Manasi river basin is mounting because of rapid economic development, its conservation becomes ever more important. Climate change is another major threat to the future of water res...

Based on the field investigation and long term remote sensing data, the dynamics of the alpine wetland in the river basin and their response to climate change were studied. Results showed the alpine wetlands accounted for 3.73% of total basin in 2010. Lake and river appeared an increasing trend in the past 30 years, with an increase of 34.36 % and 24.57%. However, swamp exhibited a tendency of ...

The paper represents a comparative cytogenetic analysis of three populations of Hypostomus regani in Brazil.Two populations belong to the Upper Paraná River Basin and the third one, the karyotype of which is described for the first time, was probably introduced into the São Francisco River Basin through transposition from the Piumhi River. Karyotype features of populations of Hypostomus regani ...

With the rapid development of the Yangtze River economic belt, the amount of waste-sewage water discharged into the Yangtze River basin increases sharply year by year, which has impeded the sustainable development of the Yangtze River basin. The water security along the Yangtze River basin is very important for China, It is something aboutwater security of roughly one-third of China's populatio...

Present-day endorheic drainage systems are rare in tropical humid regions and/or close to the coast. During late Cenozoic, under a climate, Paraíba do Sul River basin (SE Brazil) has developed along South America passive margin. This currently drains into Atlantic Ocean, but it preserves landforms that indicative of previous paleodrainage. study examines possibility this region was for most Neo...

The first otlicial occurrence of the exotic species Clarias gariepinus (Burchell , 1822) in the Rio Paraopeba (Sao Francisco river basin), the Rio Grande (Parana river basin), and the Rio Doce (Doce river basin), is reported, with comments on the possible ecological consequences and on the conservation of freshwater fish biodiversity due to non-native species introductions.

several riversides in order to investigate the actual status of C. sinensis infection among reverside inhabitants. The survey results showed an overall infection rate of 21.5%: An infection rate of 40.2% in the Nakdong River basin ranked first, 30.8% in the Yeongsan River basin second, 17.3% in the Seomjin River basin third, 15.9% in the Tamjin River basin fourth, 15.7% in the South Han River b...

A study of the spatial and temporal changes in land use and land cover (LULC) was conducted using Remote Sensing and GIS. We analyzed the LULC of Bharathapuzha river basin, south India using multispectral LANDSAT imageries of 1973-2005 time periods. 31% depletion in the natural vegetation cover and 8.7% depletion in wetland agriculture area were seen in the basin during the period. On the other...
