background and purpose: fluoride is one of the drinking water contaminants regulated by epa. this ion, in low doses in the mouth reduces tooth decay without health risk and at much higher doses causes health complications and can be toxic. the major sources of exposure to fluoride are drinking water, food, dental products, and pesticides. the biggest contributor to exposure for most people in i...

This study was conducted over seven villages near Darbandikhan district including (2) wells and (5) springs. It covers more than 60 km, to assess the suitability of ground water quality for drinking purpose using water quality index through investigating of different wells and springs; this technique is very useful tool for quick assessment for any water system. This was done by subjecting the ...

A long-term study of four degraded streams in the upper Owens River watershed documented the recovery of riparian habitats and significant improvement in channel morphology in response to grazing strategies, recreation management, and pre-irrigation peak flows. Increased control of livestock distribution, timing of forage use and degree of forage utilization on and near stream banks was designe...

A baseflow survey of 41 tributary creeks investigated the tiansport of alrazine, nilrate-nitrom chloride and sulfate in two 5,000 ha Jasper County, Iowa watersbeds. The waterskds comprise a long-tam paired shldy to evaluate the effects of largesale conversion of row nop to prairie in Walnut creek watershed compared to highly agricultural Squaw creek watershed. Discharge and chemical concentrati...

National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program collected or compiled data on ground water from 1926 private wells in rural areas across the United States from 1986 to 1999. These private wells, also called domestic wells, are owned and operated by the homeowners and provide water for household uses, including drinking, food preparation, watering lawns and gardens, bathing, and washing clothe...

Contaminant hydrology is the study of processes that affect both ground and surface water pollution. It draws on the principles of hydrology and chemistry. Contaminant hydrology and water quality research seeks to understand the role of soil properties and hydrologic processes on ground and surface water pollution and develop strategies to mitigate their impacts. Research is done at all scales ...

in many urban areas, groundwater has been exploited neglecting to wet and dry periods owing to of surface water deficit. in this study, using the percent of normal rainfall index, 36 year (1971-2008) were studied and a drought event and a wet event were determined. the reason to choose two consecutive years is the effect of early wet period on groundwater quality. physicochemical characteristic...
