Surface waters become more and more polluted, depending on human activities around them. The current study has been conducted to evaluate the impact of Syrian civil war on water quality of the Turkish part of Orontes River. For so doing, it has obtained monitoring data between 2006 and 2014 from state of Hydraulic Works of Turkey, analyzing them via Water Quality Index (WQI) and Principal Compo...

The issues of possible improvements, increased efficiency and/or optimization of monitoring systems in general, and monitoring designs, in particular, attract the attention of researchers for years. Application of formal techniques for these purposes looks appealing since it may validate suggested procedures or justify expenses required for data collection. The paper describes an approach to th...

Introduction: Monitoring and controlling water resources and using health risk assessment approaches for water pollutants are essential for health promotion programs. This study aims to determine the water quality status and its spatiotemporal variation across the Kan River Basin, explore the interrelationship between surface and groundwater quality indices, and assess the nitrate health risk i...

drinking water quality can be deteriorated by microbial and toxic chemicals during transport, storage and handling before using by the consumer. this study was conducted to evaluate the microbial and physicochemical quality of drinking water from bottled water coolers.a total of 64 water samples, over a 5-month period in 2012-2013, were collected from free standing bottled water coolers and wat...

Water is one of the most essential factors for civilization, and also among the most important items in the new world order due to its unrenewable feature. In this regard, developed countries have continually been monitoring and classifying their water. For this reason, a number of EU countries have developed a national water quality system, considering characteristic structure of their own riv...

abstract: water quality of dam storage is highly affected by upstream environment and basin. regarding other conducted studies, there exist various reasons such as some studies and general monitoring of dams which cause some main problems including salinity, chemical and microbial pollution eutrophication, and sedimentation. chame-gardalan storage dam in ilam province is one of the storages whi...

the present study aims to have a comparative study of the results, from biological monitoring as well as conventional method, based on physico-chemical variables. water quality index (wqi) and planktonic diatom metrics have been used to determine water quality and ecological conditions of the dong nai river (dnr) and canonical correspondence analysis (cca) to find out the main environmental var...

Online monitoring and water quality analysis of lakes are urgently needed. A feasible and effective approach is to use a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Lake water environments, like other real world environments, present many changing and unpredictable situations. To ensure flexibility in such an environment, the WSN node has to be prepared to deal with varying situations. This paper presents a...
