knowledge of behavior climatic indexes can be help to planning future programs bahabad study area in the eastern part of the province of yazd with a hot and dry climate, high potential evapotranspiration and low rainfall has a high potential for desertification. the aim of this research is evaluation of classification intensity by imdpa model with emphasis to climate criteria. the indices inclu...

introduction with increasing development of urban communities and increase of population in towns, thus the need for water is also increased in the recent years. production rate of municipal wastewater has also grown dramatically. on the other hand, increase of public awareness about the water pollution problems has followed the new and stricter environmental laws concerning wastewater discharg...

this paper presents a new methodology for the zoning of littoral sand barriers on the basis oftheir groundwater dynamic responses to the local mean water level (mwl) climate. the method is based onthe comparison of the characteristic scales of the horizontal drainage and recharge processes. using theboussinesq equation and basic hydro-geomorphological parameters, this methodology identifies the...

tourism as a growing industry needs special attention in developing countries. during last decades, nature based tourism has been growing faster than other tourism fields and it seems to grow even faster. ever growing demand for nature based tourism emphasizes the necessity of a holistic planning for preserving environment against degradation. objective of this study is to present a nature base...

We study a discrete time, structured population dynamic model that is motivated by recent field observations concerning certain life history strategies of colonial-nesting gulls, specifically the glaucous-winged gull (Larus glaucescens). The model focuses on mechanisms hypothesized to play key roles in a population's response to degraded environment resources, namely, increased cannibalism and ...

The goal of this study is to develop a new framework that prioritizes the best sites for treated wastewater (TWW) use considering climate change impacts. Fuzzy TOPSIS which is a kind of multi-criteria decision making techniques was introduced to reflect the uncertainty of input data and criteria weighting values. Representative concentration pathway 8.5 scenario was included into the hydrologic...
