The isotope record of the Danube River water at Vienna station probably is the longest dataset of a large river worldwide: 3H record since 1963, stable isotopes 2H and 18O records since 1968. From the 2H-18O relation (“deuterium excess”) can be concluded that the isotopic composition in the Danube River water reflects mainly the isotopic relations in the precipitation in the catchment area with...

The behavior of anthropogenic polar organic compounds in ground water during infiltration of river water to ground water was studied at the Oderbruch area on the eastern border of Germany. Additionally, waste water sewage treatment works (STWs) discharging their treated waste water into the Oder River and rain water precipitation from the Oderbruch area were investigated. The study was carried ...

River Swarna, a small tropical river originating in Western Ghats (at an altitude of 1,160 m above mean sea level) and flowing in the southwest coast of India discharges an average of 54 m(3)s(-1) of water into the Arabian Sea, of which significant part is being discharged during the monsoon. No studies have been made yet on the water chemistry of the Swarna River basin, even as half a million ...

A river lateral lake (Coqueiral Lake marginal to Paranapanema River in its mouth zone into Jurumirim Reservoir, São Paulo, Brazil) presented fragmentation into four small isolated bodies of water during a prolonged drought period, disrupting the link with the river. The aim of this work was to compare the temporal modifications on zooplankton community structure (total abundance, species richne...

In Dhaka City, Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (DWASA) supply drinking water and provides sanitation services since 1963 to the city dwellers. About 10 million people depend on the supply of drinking water and sanitation services provided by DWASA. At present DWASA is dependent more on the surface water than the under ground water because of over extraction of ground water2. Every yea...

objective: mashhad metropolis as the second largest religioncity in the world and the second largest metropolis of iran with an annual 3 million pilgrims have significant direct and indirect effects on the watershed leading to the city and surrounding over the past four decades. there is no collection system and sanitation disposal network in towns and villages within the torghabeh river.  meth...

The flow rate of the Lower Jordan River has changed dramatically during the second half of the 20th century. The diversion of its major natural sources reduced its flow rate and led to drying events during the drought years of 2000 and 2001. Under these conditions of low flow rates, the potential influence of external sources on the river discharge and chemical composition became significant. O...

The functioning of large river systems with adjacent floodplains is strongly influenced by the flood pulse. This phenomenon is the main structuring force for the biota, including fish communities that use floodplain environments for spawning, feeding, nursery and refuge. In floodplains and in the entire basin, the volume of water controls internal flows. During rising water, the high discharge ...

Drought events in the Mediterranean are likely to increase in frequency, duration and intensity due to climate change, thereby affecting crop production. Information about drought is valuable for river basin authorities and the farmers affected by their decisions. The economic value of this information and the resulting decisions are of interest to these two stakeholder groups and to the inform...
