maragheh-bonab active cultivated plain is located in south east of east azarbaijan and consists of valuable groundwater resources. maragheh industrial park is nearly located in the recharge area of this plain. kaveh soda and paper mill factories that are located in this park produce high volume of wastewater is continually recharged in the plain. in this article, the effect of industrial wastew...

diversity in natural aspects for relaxation, entertainment as well as recreational opportunities associated with walking, sightseeing, camping near wells, qanats, and springs to spend leisure time and to enjoy landscapes, represents the recreational values which can be perceived due to surface water limitations. recreational value of water includes the benefits derived from those who leave wate...

this research was conducted in order to study the effect of climate and geology factors on groundwater sources in mahvelat plain. in order to study the groundwater quality and quantity considering groundwater resources including wells and qanats; using groundwater surface, electric conduction (ec) and the total density solution (tds), the maps of groundwater surface fluctuation and quality para...

water plays a vital role in the development of activities in an area. the surface water resources are inadequate to fulfill the water demand. productivity through groundwater is quite high as compared to surface water, but groundwater resources have not yet been properly exploited. keeping this view, the present study attempts to select and delineate various groundwater potential zones for the ...

Water resources globally face unprecedented challenges, but these are at their greatest in the world’s arid and semi-arid regions. Recent IPCC estimates (Kundzewicz et al., 2007) state that between 1.4 and 2.1 billion people live in areas of water stress; those numbers are expected to increase significantly under the pressures of population growth and climate change. By definition, arid and sem...

this paper has focused on the application of hydro- geochemical techniques in conceptualizing of groundwater and to estimate recharge/discharge and the renewability of aquifer in hashtgerd watershed, iran. at first, the aquifer boundary was defined based on data of existing wells and basin morphologic conditions. estimation of recharge rate at different depth intervals by using tracer mass bala...

Hard rock aquifers for the purpose of this Paper mean the non-carbonate, fractured rock aquifers in the terrain covered by crystalline basement complex, metamorphic rocks and also by extensive effusive volcanic rocks like the basalts of western India (Deccan traps. Ground water development in hard rock aquifer areas has always played a secondary role compared to that in the areas having high-yi...
