Abstract Qanat system, as a great human heritage, contributes to the sustainable management of groundwater in arid and semiarid regions world. The main aim this paper was efficiency assessment environmental variables construction system Iran. Using geographical information (GIS) statistical method receiver operation characteristic (ROC), 20 assessed based on divisions 30 major hydrological basi...

the method of artificial neural network is used as a suitable tool for intelligent interpretation of gravity data in this paper. we have designed a hopfield neural network to estimate the gravity source depth. the designed network was tested by both synthetic and real data. as real data, this artificial neural network was used to estimate the depth of a qanat (an underground channel) located at...

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the results of laboratory tests and field surveys using ground penetrating radar (GPR) method to detect qanats at main campus Shahid Bahonar University Kerman (SBUK), Iran. The purpose experiments was explore optimum frequency GPR for subsoil in study site. We performed a variety with 3 GHz antenna (simulated dielectric empty targets) hosted by sand volumetric...

since hydrocarbon sources have an important role in development of industry and technology, exploration of them has been lionized by human. the seismic reflection method is one of the most applicable investigative methods to identify the hydrocarbon reservoirs, but in some cases this method does not work well because of geology conditions and wave attenuation in depth. thus, some exploration me...

karizes (qanat) prepare a part of fresh water sources in main desert of iran. the arid regions in deserts have isolated suitable aquatic habitats as strong barriers, thus only a few places with surface waters have remained accessible for water- related insects. this paper represents the results of only study on dragonfly species of karizes. we identified 10 species of typical desert dragonflies...
