abstract this research investigates the effect of drought on ground water table of neishabour plain. the precipitation data of nishabour synoptic station during 1990-2001, the bar climatology station during 1964-2001 and the data of hydrometric stations of kherv and bar in 1996-2001 have been used as the base of analysis. the method of herbest et all has been used to analyze the drought. using ...

Water bodies around urban areas may be polluted with chemical elements from urban or industrial activities. We study the case of underground water pollution. This is a serious problem, since underground water is high qualified drinkable water in a world where this natural resource is increasingly reduced. This study is focused on a two-layer aquifer. If the superficial layer is contaminated, th...

Two natural directions of saline sea water intrusion have been registered in the lower reaches of the Neretva River: the first direction of intrusion is through the Neretva riverbed, and the second one through deeper underground layers. The numerical model of stratified flow is described, and its application in the analysis of the Neretva River salination via the first direction of intrusion is...

Water systems all over the world experience water losses. Leakage is the most common reason of water loss. Problems associated with water main leaks are a growing concern around the globe. These problems include water and energy loss, in addition to considerable properties damage. In current practice, not all water leaks can be detected due to intensive time and expensive cost associated with t...

Shirvan is located in plain in Northern Khorasan province north east of Iran and has semiarid to temperate climate. To investigate the annual changes in some qualitative parameters such as electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids and chloride concentrations which have increased during ten continuous years. Fourteen groundwater sources including deep as well as semi-deep wells were sample...

Current regulations for fire suppression systems in underground coal mines to protect conveyor belt installations have been in place since the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 was enacted. Over time, the coal conveyer equipment being used and ventilation conditions underground have changed significantly, particularly the width of the conveyor belts and the use of belt air at the face. Th...
