in this research, the physico-chemical water quality parameters and the effect of climate changes onwater quality is evaluated. during the observation period (5 months) physico-chemical parameterssuch as water temperature, turbidity, saturated oxygen, dissolved oxygen, ph, chlorophyll-a, salinity,conductivity, and concentration of total nitrogen (nutrient level) as main pollutant factor have be...

dietary knowledge and access to resources are critical to improve health and nutritional status in a sustainable way. the present study was conducted to assess the dietary pattern and associated intake of different essential nutrients and vitamins by adolescents in himachal pradesh of india. a sample of 150 adolescents in the age group of 11-19 years from the two selected blocks (panchrukhi and...

Implementing a suite of best management practices (BMPs) can reduce non-point source (NPS) pollutants from various land use activities. Watershed models are generally used to evaluate the effectiveness of BMP performance in improving water quality as the basis for watershed management recommendations. This study evaluates 171 management practice combinations that incorporate nutrient managemen...

The Iran Water Resources Management Company constructs many dams to control surface water that provide a new potential for aquaculture activities. Trophic status index and natural potential for fish production were investigated in nine small dam reservoirs from northwest of Iran. Prediction of fish productivity was calculated based on phytoplankton biomass (using chlorophyll a concentration in ...

Suspended sediment resulted from distributed soil erosions facilitates nutrient transportation and influences soil depletion. Phosphorus (P) is one of the major limiting nutrients controlling eutrophication of surface water. Irregular P load pulsed by heavy rainfall may damage the ecological quality of downstream waters. P transport study during rainfall events is important in both predicting a...

Changes to runoff due to climate change may influence management of nutrient loading to the sea. Assuming unchanged river nutrient concentrations, we evaluate the effects of changing runoff on commitments to nutrient reductions under the Baltic Sea Action Plan. For several countries, climate projections point to large variability in load changes in relation to reduction targets. These changes e...
