As part of the Cultural Resource Management (CRM) evaluation process, fifty (50) Woodland ceramic sherds were selected by the Ft. Bragg (North Carolina) archaeological staff. The sherds were chosen so that they might give a sense of the range of variation that may exist within a single drainage and the differences that may exist between the river drainages (Table 1). The three river drainages i...

eshtehard aquifers are shoor river's catchment basin and water potential in different areas. eshtehard aquifers, because of the diversity of geological formations and structures have different quality and quantity. this paper aims, to determine the relationship between quantitative and qualitative characteristics of water resources with the lithology and structural geological features of t...

     Reduction of water resources limits the ability of farmers for food production and subsistence. Nowadays the quick growth of population has been the most important factor in the decline of renewable water. In many parts of Iran, including region of interest, the major factor in water resources decline was land use change, that may  cause to ecological destruction and disruption. Sustainabl...

analyzing the process of land use and cover changes during long periods of time and predicting the future changes is highly important and useful for the land use managers. in this study, the land use maps in the ardabil plain in north-west part of iran for four periods (1989, 1998, 2009 and 2013) are extracted and analyzed through remote sensing technique, using the land-sat satellite images. t...

Dust storms are known as hazardous problems in western part of Iran. Iraq is one of the main sources for dust storm arriving to the western part of Iran. The Radial Basis Function Network model (RBFN) has been used to assess wind erosion hazards in the source area of dust storms over several western Iranian cities. Normalized Difference Salinity Index (NDSI) was used to determine the changes in...

recent droughts and indiscriminate use of ground water for agriculture, is the main problems of the especially desert country.water crisis has gripped all of country plains, and due tothe reduction of surface water resources and successive droughts, illegal exploitation of ground water resources is increasing.the knowledge of the water balance plains can be helped in the water resources managem...

The highly-elevated and rugged topography of the Al-Ḥajar Mountains in Northern Oman requires a topographically-optimised survey methodology. To reconstruct archaeological landscapes southern piedmont area Tanūf District, we applied combined ground satellite imagery analysis. In narrow canyon, travelled towards visible caves on cliffs cairns ridges recorded all encountered sites way. open flood...
