the johor strait is an estuarine system located on the coast of the state of johor in malaysia.the western part of johor strait is a shallow estuarine located between causeway and pulai river. ahydrodynamic model was calibrated based on the environmental fluid dynamic code (efdc) from 4th to 17th of october, 2009. in this calibration, the efdc hydrodynamic model was configured to simulate time ...

Interannual salinity variations in North Atlantic Subtropical Mode Water (STMW) are well known although the cause is less well understood. Attempts to model local salinity variation with local evaporation and precipitation have not been successful and some authors invoke advection of low salinity water as the cause. Examination of the STMW and North American river runoff data suggests that runo...

abstract:background and objectives:in arid and semi-arid regions, salinity is a serious and chronic problem for agriculture. due to the improved methods of irrigation and mechanization this methods to increase water use efficiency and enhance the uniformity of water distribution in the field, is very important. main area of farming cotton in iran is about 150000 ha, which in kerman province mos...

The Apalachicola Bay is one of the most productive estuaries in Florida. Variations of salinity directly influence the productivity of the aquatic habitats. Physical conditions that affect the salinity include tidal elevations, wind and current velocities, precipitation, and the discharge of the Apalachicola River. In the present paper, cross-correlation techniques, autoregressive integrated mo...

abstract seed germination is an important phase of plant development during which soil water availability is crucial. salinity can affect seed germination in two ways: 1) change of osmotic potential of available water, 2) toxicity effects. in this experiment, interactive effects of salinity and water deficit on germination criteria of two species of a, littoralis and a. logopoides were studied ...

the present study was conducted with the objective of investigating the feasibility of using drainage water mixed with water to irrigate sugarcane (saccharum officinarum) in khuzestan province. the investigation was conducted in research center of sugarcane in farming seasons of years 2008-2009. four salinity levels of irrigation water were selected (s1, s2, s3 and s4 respectively with salinite...
