Flood is one of the catastrophic events that has attracted the hydrologists’ attention. In this research one of the important flood indices, i.e. maximum-daily mean-discharge, was determined for several western Iran watersheds, namely, in the catchments of Gamasiab, Qarasou, Saimare, Kashkan, Sezar and Abshineh. Daily data were prepared from stream-gauging stations and a 30-year concurrent peri...

Received: 21 April, 2009 Accepted: 21 Oct, 2009 Abstract Background & Aims: Proteinuria is one of the fundamental criteria for diagnosis of pre-eclampsia with quantative assessment based on twenty-four-hour urine protein estimation as the gold standard. The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between four and twenty-four-hour urine total protein values to confirm the diagnos...

Past decades damage by floods in Iran and on the other of the world has shown that we have still much work to do to cope with this problem. Hence, the study of these events and development of more effective adaptation and mitigation policies has become a priority, in other parts of the globe. First step in achieving flood risk assessment is data collection. Availability, suitability and quality...

      Flood as a rapid and destructive event causes great human and economic losses in Iran and around the world, annually. This study aimed to assess the temporal trend and spatial changes of flood coefficient of Ardabil Province rivers using daily discharge of 22 hydrometric stations over a 22-year (1991 to 2011) of recorded data. The flood coefficient amount was calculated after subtracting ...

Extended abstract 1- Introduction Floods are one of the natural events that cause human casualties and damage to buildings, facilities, gardens, fields, and natural resources every year. Urbanization disturbs the balance of slopes through indirect intrusion within watersheds, kills vegetation, soil compaction, and changes in the profile of waterways, increases the severity of floods, and incr...
