The purpose of this study is to evaluate the spatial changes of groundwater nitrate concentrations by using geostatistical methods based on data from 119 groundwater wells. Geostatistical methods have been used widely as a convenient tool to make decision on the management of behavior of hydrochemical parameters in groundwater. To evaluate the spatial changes nitrate concentrations in groundwat...

<p>Leakage or seepage in reservoirs and dams has the potential for structural instabilities persuaded by water leakage pathways linked to economic consequences. An environmental isotopic hydrochemical research was conducted determine source origin of seepages on tunnel Pandanduri dam, Lombok Island, Indonesia. This study aimed examine leak dam site at point based chemistry data stable iso...

Principal component analysis (PCA) based on singular value decomposition (SVD) of hydrological data was tested for water quality assessment. Using two case studies of wasteand drinking water, PCA via SVD was able to find latent variables which explain 80.8% and 83.7% of the variance, respectively. By means of scatter and loading plots, PCA revealed the relationships among samples and hydrochemi...

The complex tectonic and volcanic processes in the Ethiopian rift valley have resulted in the formation of volcano-tectonic structural depressions that became sites for many rift valley lakes. Lake Beseka is one of the rift valley lakes in the northern section of the MER near to the Afar triangle. The lake plays an important role in the ecology of birds and wildlife, as it is located in the nor...

This study examines whether plankton of the Lagoon of Venice could be considered as a bio-indicator of areas subjected to various anthropogenic influences. This study was a two year hydrochemical and biological survey in five areas of the Lagoon of Venice, each with different environmental conditions due to pollution from urban, industrial, thermal and agricultural wastes. Phytoplankton associa...
