OBJECTIVES To assess the baseline knowledge regarding stroke risk factors, symptoms, treatment and information resources in an Iranian urban population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A community-based face-to-face interview survey was conducted in the Shiraz urban area in Iran. A total of 385 potential participants between the ages of 15 and 83 years were randomly selected from people referred to Mota...

Ground-water availability from the High Plains aquifer in Southwest Kansas Ground-water Management District 3 (GMD 3) is declining as it is elsewhere in the western part of the state (Figure 1). Water-use density, defined as the annual amount of water pumped from the aquifer per unit of land area, is high over much of the District and greatly exceeds annual recharge (McMahon et al., 2003). Subs...

Aquifer tests yield estimations of hydrogeological parameters through suitable analytical models from field data recorded as drawdown variations by time or distance. In practice, most often a single model iK adopted with a set of assumptions, and unfortunately, field data deviations from the model type curves are not considered in interpretations . This is a rather mechanistic approach which im...

[1] The estimation of catchment-averaged aquifer hydraulic conductivity values is usually performed through a base flow recession analysis. Relationships between the first time derivatives of the base flow and the base flow values themselves, derived for small and large values of time, are used for this purpose. However, in the derivation of the short-time equations, an initially fully saturate...

Naturally occurring dissolved organic matter (DOM) and biosolids-derived DOM have been implicated in the mobility of metals in soils and aquifer materials. To investigate the effect of DOM on copper mobility in aquifer material, DOM derived from sewage biosolids was separated into two apparent molecular-weight (MW) fractions, 500 to 3500 Da (LMW) and > 14 000 Da (HMW). In each MW fraction, the ...

Playas are ephemeral, closed-basin wetlands that are hypothesized as an important source of recharge to the High Plains aquifer in central USA. The ephemeral nature of playas, low regional recharge rates, and a strong reliance on groundwater from the High Plains aquifer has prompted many questions regarding the contribution and quality of recharge from playas to the High Plains aquifer. As a re...
