Water is a unique natural resource among all sources available on earth. It plays an important role in economic development and the general well-being of the country. This study aimed at using the application of water quality index in evaluating the ground water quality innorth-east area of Jaipur in pre and post monsoon for public usage. Total eleven physico–chemical characteristics; total dis...

background and purpose: today, by increasing different pollutants, the continuous monitoring of surface waters is essential. dorudzan dam is one of the main sources of surface water in fars province, iran; hence, the current study investigated the quality  of dorudzan reservoir for drinking and irrigation consumptions. materials and methods: in this study, various physicochemical parameters [ph...

Assessment of seasonal changes in surface water quality is an important aspect for evaluating temporal variations of river pollution due to natural or anthropogenic inputs of point and non-point sources. In this study, surface water quality data for 16 physical and chemical parameters collected from 22 monitoring stations in a river during the years from 1998 to 2001 were analyzed. The principa...

* Email: [email protected]. Abstract – Spectrum matching is one approach to estimating water quality parameter concentrations (chlorophyll a, tripton and coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM)) from remotely sensed images of inland waters. The Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is a stochastic search technique that can be used to search the solution space for the closest match and deli...

background: groundwater resources in arid and semi arid regions are very important. groundwater is contaminated by agricultural, industrial and municipal activity which as a result reduces its quality. investigating of the chemical quality of the groundwater is emphasized to identify pollutant environmental impacts associated with incorrect waste disposal practice. this research investigated th...
