Abstract:

Background & Aim: Urban runoff is one of the most valuable and renewable water resources in many arid and semi-arid parts of the world. Understanding how to use these resources is very important. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical, chemical and biological properties of surface runoff in Zahedan for irrigation uses. Methods: The present work was a descriptive cross-sectional study. Grap sampling was taken at two rainfall events at the intersection of Azarakhshi and Pasdaran crossings. The samples were examined for physical, chemical and microbial parameters according to the standard water and wastewater testing methods and qualitative irrigation parameters. The results were compared with Iranian and FAO environmental standards for irrigation uses. Results: The mean COD and BOD5 parameters were 359 and 56.6 mg/l, respectively and the mean heavy metals of nickel, zinc, cadmium, lead, copper, chromium, iron in solution were 6.8, 66.66, 1, 2.2, 8.93, 5.1 and 92.5 mg/l, respectively. The mean total coliforms were 38333/33 MPN/100ml. The average of irrigation quality indices including SAR and Na% were 20.1 and 59.2%, respectively. Conclusion: The results showed that the surface runoff of Zahedan in many parameters including heavy metals such as nickel, zinc, lead, copper and chromium, turbidity, TSS, TDS, sodium, total coliform CODs and CODs are above the maximum permitted DOE and FAO limits for irrigation usage.

Phosphorus losses in furrow irrigation runoff.

Phosphorus (P) often limits the eutrophication of streams, rivers, and lakes receiving surface runoff. We evaluated the relationships among selected soil P availability indices and runoff P fractions where manure, whey, or commercial fertilizer applications had previously established a range of soil P availabilities on a Portneuf silt loam (coarse-silty, mixed, superactive, mesic Durinodic Xeri...

Design and Season Influence Nitrogen Dynamics in Two Surface Flow Constructed Wetlands Treating Nursery Irrigation Runoff

Constructed wetlands (CWs) are used to remediate runoff from a variety of agricultural, industrial, and urban sources. CW remediation performance is often evaluated at the laboratory scale over durations less than one year. The purpose of this study was to characterize the effect of CW design (cell depth) and residence time on nitrogen (N) speciation and fate across season and years in two free...

Managing urban runoff in residential neighborhoods: Nitrogen and phosphorus in lawn irrigation driven runoff

Sources and mechanisms of nutrient transport in lawn irrigation driven surface runoff are largely unknown. We investigated the transport of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in lawn irrigation driven surface runoff from a residential neighborhood (28 ha) of 56% impervious and 44% pervious areas. Pervious areas encompassing turfgrass (lawns) in the neighborhood were irrigated with the reclaimed wa...
