monthly discharge is one of the most important factors considered in designs and hydrological works. some watersheds are not equipped with needed hydrometric equipment. in such a case average monthly discharge could be estimated from regional monthly water balance models of representative watersheds. in this study, thornthwaite & mather (tm) model were used in the pishkouh watershed in arid...

in the case of iran with arid and semiarid climate and lack of freshwater, pay attention to water quality and its effective factors is necessary. karkheh watershed is more than 5 million hectares in area and with biggest soil dam in asia, which has widespread land use changes in last decades. the most important factors of water volume and water resources reduction are aridity and improper land ...

behaviour of the dilution characteristics of the coastal waters off tuticorin is presented in thebackground of setting up of a desalination plant. simulations of dispersion and spreading of the proposeddischarges has been carried out. scenarios of dilutions were assessed based on the results of a 2d model using the advection-dispersion theory. it is observed that under prevailing currents in th...

Flows along the upper Qu’Appelle River are expected to increase in the future via increased discharge from Lake Diefenbaker to meet the demands of increased agricultural and industrial activity and population growth in southern Saskatchewan. This increased discharge and increased air temperature due to climate change are both expected to have an impact on the water quality of the river. The Wat...

Spatial distribution of land use can have a substantial effect on surface and groundwater quality. Our objective was to test for trends in flow components and water quality related to changes in land use in the Alafia and Hillsborough River watersheds in Florida, USA, over the period 1974-2007. In addition, water quality statistics were evaluated in the perspective of numeric water quality crit...

abstract bottom rack intake is one of the most appropriate structures for diverting water in steep rivers. the problems of corrosion, deformity and clogging of the bottom racks in long term, inspires a new system of bottom intake in which a filled trench of porous media is replaced by the bottom racks. diversion of a specified amount of discharge through the porous media when void space in the ...

background: the objective of the study is examining the microbial quality of drinking water in kashan’s villages, and determining the usage of safe water in rural population in terms of microbial quality in the second-half 2007. also the role of kashan rural water and wastewater company (krwwc) in improving drinking water quality in kashan rural areas was investigated. methods: in this descript...

In this study, water samples were collected from 10 thermal and non-thermal springs of Mahalat setting during four periods in 2011. The discharge rates of these springs vary from 2 l/s to 45 l/s and their temperature range from an average minimum of 18oC to maximum 47oC. Spring water is high in SO4-Cl and this is related to gypsum dissolution. Correlation coefficient, principal component analys...
