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...

landscape characteristics and land use patterns of watershed demonstrate extension, distribution, density and abundance of human interference. these factors can affect water quality of adjacent aquatic systems within a watershed. land use changes have caused various environmental problems for zayandehroud river,turned it as a sink of pollutant. therefore this is investigated that how would land...

Due to the increase in students' population over the years, the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana, and its surrounding communities have seen an increase in the number of beauty salons. The assessment of the quality of salon wastewater has received little attention, as a potential source of environmental and public health hazard, due to the lack of literat...

the influence of leachate from open solid waste dumping near salhad stream (abbottabad, pakistan) was investigated to quantify the variations of water quality during august 2007 to april 2008. samples were collected from five different sites located along the salhad stream. two sites were located before the mixing of solid waste leachate with the surface water. one sampling site was of leach...

The present study has been conducted to determine the surface water quality of urban area in Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh by determining some water quality parameters (Transparency, Temperature, pH, EC, Eh, DO, TSS, TDS, TS, BOD5, COD, TOC, Cl-, Br-, SO4-2, NO3-, NO2-, PO4-3, TP, HCO3- and Total alkalinity) as well as the status of phytoplankton’s community in the water from two lakes (Tiger Lake a...
