for better understanding of tehran ground water, samples were taken randomly from 340 out of 655 deep & semi deep wells in 1993, which dug by tehran water supply and sewage engineering company. 260 water specimens were examined chemically and physically and compared with the 1993 world health organization (who) and food and agriculture organization (fao) criteria and analyzed statistically. log...

Sediment oxygen demand (SOD) contributes immensely to hypolimnetic oxygen depletion. SOD rates thus play a key role in aquatic ecosystems’ health predictions. These rates, however, can be very expensive to sample. Moreover, determination of SOD rates by sediment diagenesis modeling may require very large datasets, or may not be easily adapted to complex aquatic systems. Water quality modeling f...

Of growing amount of food waste, the integrated food waste and waste water treatment was regarded as one of the efficient modeling method. However, the load of food waste to the conventional waste treatment process might lead to the high concentration of total nitrogen (T-N) impact on the effluent water quality. The objective of this study is to establish two machine learning models-artificial ...

drinking water has received considerable attention recently. however, misuse and mismanagement have resulted in a rapid and widespread decline in source-water quality and supply. water quality guidelines can be used to identify constituents of concern in water, to determine the levels to which the constituents of water must be treated for drinking purposes. membrane technology for the water cyc...

The development of a surface water evaluation index is a critical factor in the assessment, restoration and protection of stream water quality. Quantifying water pollution in specific grade using dominant parameters is important, as this can explain the current state of water pollution with accuracy. As a result, an integrated multi-parameter water quality index has been developed. It is based ...

Climate variability, changing land use and management, and dynamic policy environments are the main reasons why long-term research is needed to understand and predict possible water quality outcomes to alternative future scenarios. Long-term water quality data sets are needed to address these water issues. Such data sets were acquired by the USDA-ARS in three watersheds in Oklahoma: the Souther...

abstract water is a vital resource for every biological and human phenomena. nowadays, water management and conservation has a great importance not only in developing countries, but also in developed countries. in traditional economics, water is not taken into consideration as a factor of production in the national accounts. nevertheless in reality, water is the primary input of many goods and ...

background: the purpose of study was to evaluate and compare chemical quality of iranian bottled drinking water reported on manufacturer's labeling and standards. methods: this study was a cross-sectional descriptive study and done during july to december 2008. the bottled mineral water collected from shops randomly were analyzed for all parameters address on manufacturer's labeling and the res...
