background: in addition to the various human environmental issues, environmental hazards due to the industrial waste mismanagement are one of the country's major problems. this especially is more important in the provinces such as bakhtiari province where there have been concentration and diversity of the natural resources and a rapid growth of technology and industry in the recent years. metho...

Identifying the most relevant environment related indicators and how to make them available to decision-makers are current issues. Some seek to enhance their efficiency by means of methods such as aggregations or weighting. More fundamentally, in this chapter we question how industrial ecologists appropriate the notion of environment. On the basis of multidisciplinary research, we argue that, i...

As the most constraining environmental factor of vegetation development in arid areas, soil moisture is mainly supplied by precipitation and groundwater resources. Considering varying sensitivity different plant communities to groundwater-induced water shortages, communities' management requires study effects both meteorological hydrogeological droughts on vegetation. Therefore, this sought mod...

Industrial symbiosis (IS) is a subdiscipline of Industrial Ecology that aims to bring together companies from different sectors to share resources, namely energy, materials, and water. The main goal of IS is to improve resource (materials, waste, energy) efficiency and lead to mutual environmental, financial and social benefits to participants. In this paper we present a semantic approach for I...

The municipal solid waste in Landfill is transformed into landfill gas during a biochemical conversion process called bio-degradation. Gas release from landfills has potentially different environmental effects; therefore, assessing and forecasting the rate of production and release of gas from landfill sites is important for designing these sites and for the successful exploitation of gases as ...
