The granite-gneiss body of  Abadchi area (vicinity of Zayandeh-Rud dam) is a part of Sanandaj-Sirjan tectonic zone. The mineralogical composition of the granite- gneisses contains quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, biotite and muscovite and minor minerals of opaque, zircon, amphibole and allanite. The granite-gneiss rocks have been influenced by deformation dynamics and weakly Na-metazomatism. Ge...

In this research, three alluvial Terraces that are located in pathway of Zayandeh-Rood River are studied. The river starts from Bakhtiayri Zardkoh mountain and after through Esfahan city ends to Gawkhony lake. Age of alluvial terraces is younger in upstream than downstream and the height level of the terraces decrease relative to current river bed toward the downstream. The terraces were sample...

In the present study, we used 27 precipitation average monthly data from synoptic, climatologic, rain-guage and evaporative stations located in Zayandeh-Rud river basin for the period of 1970-2014. Before interpolating, the missing data in the time series of each station was reconstructed by the normal ratio method. Also, for the data quality control, the Dickey-Fuller and Shapiro-Wilk tests we...

Determining the relative contributions of human activities and climate change to variations of runoff in basin is very important for sustainable management of water resources. In this study, seven methods were used to determine these relative contributions in the Ghaleh-Shahrokh watershed as the main upper catchment of Zayandeh-Roud River. These seven methods can be divided into two main catego...
