One hundred and nineteen karst springs, all with electrical conductivity of less than 500 gmhosfcm, discharging two carbonatic aquifers in Zagrosides of Iran are chosen and studied. The results indicate that the lithology of each unit is well reflected in the chemistry of the springs and the overall mineralogical composition of the aquifer can successfully be reconstructed from the hydroche...

Nepal houses only inland freshwater wetlands, ranging from floodplains of snow-melt-fed cold Himalayan rivers, warm rivers originating in the mid hills, high altitudinal glacial lakes to hot springs, ponds, ox-bow lakes, marshes and swamps. These wetlands support several endemic and globally threatened species of flora and fauna. Besides, wetland sites have significant recreational, religio-cul...

A study has been conducted to illustrate examples of water quality problems to vulnerable communities in Limpopo Province of South Africa (SA) and management practices and strategies. Pollution of water sources is a major threat to the scarce water resources in the province. This severely affects water quality and impacts negatively on public health particularly in remote rural communities that...

Between October 1982 and September 1983, an outbreak of cholera occurred in Transkei. A total of 678 patients with clinical illness were reported in a review of positive laboratory results. Subsequent to each report, the health department personnel began a rigorous contact-tracing process during which data on the environment were collected. A total of 1,157 standardised forms listing 6,615 pers...

The Mikkes basin is located at the north center of Morocco. It comprises three different zones which represent diversified geologies which shelter a phreatic and confined aquifer in the Sais basin and a shallow aquifer in the Tabular Middle Atlas. The springs in the Sais phreatic aquifer have suffered a maximum depletion. The springs with a deep or mixed origin are known as low flow variation s...

The largest fraction of the natural radiation exposure we receive comes from a radioactive gas, radon and its decay products (nearly 50%). The radon gas can enter to the body via respiring, drinking and eating and caused damage to respiratory and digestion systems. Also radium-226 is widely distributed in the environment. When a person ingests radium, this element deposits in bones and cause to...
