methane is one of the important greenhouse gases that contribute to a rise in global mean surface temperature. aquatic environments are postulated to contribute > 50% of the total global methane (ch4) flux to the atmosphere (de angelis and lilley, 1987). dissolved methane concentration in surface waters was measured from january to december 2008 at two selected sites upper reaches (ongc bridge)...

Public health is at risk from physical and chemical contaminants in the drinking water which may have immediate health consequences. The data from the current study was evaluated for groundwater quality in the rural villages of Neyshabur County in Iran. For determination of the essential physicochemical parameters, water samples were collected from 30 randomly-selected water wells during 2013 a...

Water as a resource, basic amenity and universal solvent is shared by population. The physicochemical and biological quality study of Anekal Taluk has been taken up to evaluate its suitability for potable purposes. 1026 water samples were collected from bore well, hand pumps of 272 villages covering in Anekal Taluk. The quality of groundwater has been made through the analysis of pH, colour, el...

We analyzed levels of PCDD/DF in leachate liquid and solid from five Korean municipal solid waste landfills to investigate the relationship between PCDD/DF and dissolved organic carbon and suspended solids in raw leachate. The concentrations of PCDD/DF ranged from 173.2 to 1329.4 pg/l and 4.1 to 46.22 pg-TEQ/l. The range of PCDD/DF was 123.2-1161.3 pg/l in leachate solid and 50.0-383.3 pg/l in ...

background wastewaters with high salt content disturb the metabolic function of microorganisms causing plasmolysis or activity loss in microorganisms, so the efficiency of biological treatment of saline wastewater by conventional microorganisms will decrease. objectives this study aimed to find the outbreak of disorder in the biological wastewater treatment process and how much salt leads to lo...

More than 40% of the homes in Georgia use onsite systems to manage household wastewater. Because of water quality concerns as the number on onsite systems increases, advanced wastewater treatment components to reduce biological oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), and nutrients are more commonly used.. The objective of this study was to evaluate passive, low-maintenance onsite sys...

an accurate design of drip irrigation requires water quality analysis that helps attain a better emission uniformity coefficient. this study examined aquifer qualitative parameters in the north of khuzestan province to assess the applicability of groundwater in trickle irrigation systems. for this purpose, interpolation technology was used to map chemical parameters collected from 104 deep well...
