Susceptibility assessment to erosion in the Fashand Catchment using mineralogical and geochemical methods

Authors

Abstract:

Requisite programs soil conservation and sediment control is requires identification of areas prone to erosion and today used fingerprinting method around the world to determine the contribution of sediments transported. In this study, in order to gain optimized share of the estimated sediment resources, used of tracking feature and finally presented the map susceptibility to erosion in the Fashand Catchment to area of 3247 hectares according to the mineralogical and geochemical studies. The results of mineralogical studies suggest that the Zagon formation with 17.13% of the watershed area has the greatest Sediment potential (57/1) in the region and the results of geochemical methods are also showing greater sensitivity Zagon formation the share of deposits has been 1.84. The results detection analysis suggest that of 11-element analysis in this research, have been appropriate the elements phosphorus, chloride, bicarbonate, lime, nitrogen and organic matter in order to separate the sediment sources. The results of mineralogical and geochemical methods have been largely fits together.

Estimation of annual erosion and sedimentation in Babolroud catchment using EPM and Fournier methods

One of the problems of controlling erosion and sedimentation in catchment areas is the lack of statistical data to accurately estimate the amount of sedimentation and erosion. In order to implement soil protection programs and determine methods to reduce sedimentation, it is necessary to estimate the total volume of annual sediment production. The purpose of this study is to estimate the erosio...

Genesis of the Tang Zagh iron deposit by using mineralogical and geochemical data, Hormozgan province

The Tang Zagh iron deposit is located about 117 km Northeast of Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan Province in the structural folded-thrusted zone of the Zagros basin. Iron mineralization occurs in the form of iron oxides (hematite) within the salt dome and/or in fractures and between the layers of the younger strata with the Tertiary age. Based on the microscopic studies, dolomitic fragments of the host ...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Landslide susceptibility mapping using logistic regression analysis in Latyan catchment

    Every year, hundreds of people all over the world lose their lives due to landslides. Landslide susceptibility map describes the likelihood or possibility of new landslides occurring in an area, and therefore helping to reduce future potential damages. The main purpose of this study is to provide landslide susceptibility map using logistic regression model at Latyan watershed, north Iran. I...

Determination of Travertine Outcrop Types in Tazerj (Northern Hormozgan) using Mineralogical and Geochemical Data

The Tazerj travertine deposits are located 25 km northwest of Haji Abad and 5 km northeast of Tazerj Village in Hormozgan Province, southern Iran. This area is part of the Folded Zagros Zone. The studied travertine deposits are located on Eocene deposits and were most likely formed through the dissolution and re-deposition of groundwater and atmospheric waters onto the Asmari limestone. The pet...
