abstarct precise knowledge of all components of water balance is essential to optimize water use in irrigated agriculture. however, water balance components are difficult to measure in required time intervals because their measuring is time consuming and costly. unsaturated zone simulator models are useful tools for predicting the effects of agricultural management on crop water use and can be ...

Previous studies have found Kenyan endurance runners to be in negative energy balance during training and prior to competition. The aim of the present study was to assess energy balance in nine elite Kenyan endurance runners during heavy training. Energy intake and expenditure were determined over 7 d using weighed dietary intake and doubly labelled water, respectively. Athletes were on average...

BACKGROUND Poor state of water supply systems, shortage of water purification facilities and disinfection systems, low quality of drinking water generally in Russia and particularly in the regions of the Russian Arctic, Siberia and Far East have been defined in the literature. However, no standard protocol of water security assessment has been used in the majority of studies. STUDY DESIGN AND...

limitation of water resources in iran motivates sustaining and preserving of the resources in order to supply future water needs. fulfilling these objectives will not be possible unless having accurate water balance of watersheds. the purpose of this study is to estimate the water balance parameters using a distributed method. the large number of distributed models and methods was studied and “...

caspian sea is the largest enclosed body of water on the earth. since the collapse of soviet union in 1991 and discovering large oil and gas fields, some issues such as political, economic and environmental events, made the caspian sea important. the ecology of the sea are being endangered due to several issues such as petroleum extraction, river and sea pollutions, water level rise, biological...

A new measurement of the atmospheric νµ/νe ratio-of-ratios, 0.61 ± 0.15 ± 0.05, has been obtained using a 3.2-kty exposure of the Soudan-2 underground detector. This measurement, based upon neutrino reactions in an iron tracking calorimeter of honeycomb-lattice geometry, is in agreement with the anomalously low value reported by the underground water detectors.

maharlou-bakhtegan catchment in the southern part of iran is faced with water scarcity.this problem is exacerbated by environmental degradation, climate change effects, mismanagementof water resources, along with a major dependence of water demand supplies on the limitedgroundwater resources. in this study, a combined approach of dpsir model along with the scenarioanalysis was employed to deriv...

The main objectives of waters and aquatic environmental protection aim preventing the damage of all surface waters and progressive reduction of pollution, gradual cessation or elimination of evacuation and loss of pollutants in the surface waters, as preventing or eliminating the contribution of pollutants in underground waters and preventing the damage of their.Gratifying water requests, prote...
