this study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of input and output wastewater of the bandargaz wastewater treatment plant on the basis of the data collected during operation and the samples taken during the study period. for this purpose, three samples were taken from the outflow wastewater and 25 quality parameters were tested. also, four soil samples were taken from the soils whi...

in order to investigate the effect of domestic wastewater and normal water (well water) on soil chemical properties and alfalfa yield, a research project was conducted for three years in chahartakhteh research station. the experiment was performed in randomized complete blocks design including four treatments in three replications. treatments were as follows: t1: irrigation with normal water at...

Population’s exponential growth along with drought has increased water resources limitation, especially in arid and semi-arid area. Therefore, the use of non-conventional water is an important tool for water resource management. If unconventional water has no negative impact on soil properties and water, it can be used for irrigation coupled with desertification projects. So, this paper tries t...

Over the past 20 years, the new industrial cities were considered as the main solution to most of the problems facing the metropolitan industrial areas and to assist in the national industrial development. In these new communities, industrial and domestic activities result in the production of vast quantities of wastewater; the improper disposal of which may cause serious environmental hazards....

OBJECTIVE The goal of the current study was to gain insight into the prevalence and concentrations of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) Escherichia coli in Dutch surface water, and to explore the role of wastewater as AMR contamination source. METHODS The prevalence of AMR E. coli was determined in 113 surface water samples obtained from 30 different water bodies, and in 33 wastewater samples obt...

Current urban water management practices aim to remove stormwater and wastewater efficiently from urban areas. An alternative approach is to consider stormwater and wastewater as a potential resource substitute for a portion of the water imported via the reticulated supply system. A holistic view of urban water resources provides the framework for the evaluation of the demand for water supply, ...
