Water is a basic demand of sustainable development in most regions of the world. The non-uniform temporal and spatial distribution of water resources will lead to water shortage in arid and semi-arid areas. Pishin catchment is one of the most important catchments in South-East Iran. The basin had been faced with consecutive droughts in recent years. On the other hand, water resources developmen...

Several Mycoplasma species cause serious and economically important diseases in goats world-wide. Forty goat flocks in the Pishin district of Balochistan province of Pakistan were examined for the clinical cases of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) during 2008. Thirty goats suspected for CCPP on the basis of respiratory symptoms were euthanized for post mortem examination, microbiologic...

Commanding Indian Military Hospital, Pishin. About midnight lst-2ncl February, 1928, two men went to sleep in a small room (8 X J feet) in this cantonment, with the door and the window closed and a pan of steam coal burning inside. As they did not get up by 9 a.m. next day (2nd February, 1928) and noisy breathing was heard from their room, with a smell of poisonous gas emanating from the chinks...

The catchment, or catchment area, is the area associated with a segment of a drainage network. Surface runoff in a catchment flows into the associated network segment. Catchment area is commonly used for estimating watershed parameters, such as upstream drainage area, flood frequency, or surface-water flow. Hydrologic analyses require relatively accurate catchment area estimates to furnish subs...

the management of sedimentation problems in rivers and reservoirs depend greatly on the sediment yield from the catchment land surface. in this research the effects of biological measures and ranges enclose on suspended load in two sub-catchments of kakhk experimentalwatershed in gonabad has been studied. this catchment contains both control and experimental sub-catchments. these sub-catchments...

The development of catchment modelling tools has gained considerable momentum through the Cooperative Research Centre for Catchment Hydrology’s Catchment Modelling Toolkit. This repository of models (see www.toolkit.net.au) allows the modeller to select the most appropriate tools with which to best represent their catchment and associated constituent processes. While this has improved the abili...

Water quality data, collected by the Environment Agency in England and Wales over 10 years (1991 – 2000) were used to examine the spatial distribution of nutrient pollution risk and for assessing broad-scale spatial and temporal variability in nutrient fluxes across the Wye catchment. Nutrient water quality across the upper and middle Wye catchment, and along the main River Wye, is generally ve...
