Groundwater is a major source of water for domestic, industrial, and agricultural sectors in many countries. The main objective of this research was to provide an overview of present groundwater quality using parameters such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, chloride, sulfate, pH, and electrical conductivity (EC) in the Mehran plain, Ilam province using GIS and geostatistical techniques. A total o...

Introduction: Water quality is essential for industries because they play an important role in countries’ economic development. Groundwater is one of the most widely used resources, and when the ionic constituents were increasing higher than the allowable limit, it increases the cost of maintenance and production in the industries. Materials and Methods: In order to evaluate groundwater corros...

Disposal of saline drainage water is a significant problem for irrigated agriculture. One proposal is to recycle drainage water to irrigate salt tolerant crops until the volume has been reduced sufficiently to enable final disposal by evaporation. Part of this concept requires in-situ crop water use from shallow groundwater; and data is needed to quantify the potential use of groundwater by alt...

Introduction: Due to water scarcity and increased water consumption during the past years, the importance of water in terms of transmission of diseases, as well as Iran's climate, groundwater aquifers are known as the most important resources of drinking water supply. Using the Water Quality Index (WQI) is considered as strong managerial tool for decision making in water resource management. Th...

The chemical and isotopic (Sr/Sr, B, Ssulfate, Owater, Nnitrate) compositions of water from the Lower Jordan River and its major tributaries between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea were determined in order to reveal the origin of the salinity of the Jordan River. We identified three separate hydrological zones along the flow of the river: (1) A northern section (20 km downstream of its sour...

Groundwater resources in Arsanjan plain provide water for agriculture, industry, and human consumption. Continued agricultural development in this area needs to additional groundwater resources for, particularly during of drought periods, and effects on the quantity and quality of ground water available. The purpose of this study is to evaluate water level changes in the aquifer of Arsanjan pla...

Thus, groundwater can be easily susceptible to infiltration from dumpsites, septic tanks and other anthropogenic activities. Approximately, one fifth of the world total freshw...

in the last decade, the water level of urmia lake has experienced a dramatically drop. although the causes of this lose have been investigated, the significance of groundwater supplies had not been concerned so much. in the present research, groundwater resources around the lake were explored as its water supplier. the number of wells and groundwater withdrawal has been increased because of cul...

determining the distribution of heavy metals in groundwater is important in developing appropriate management strategies at mine sites. in this paper, the application of artificial intelligence (ai) methods to data analysis,namely artificial neural network (ann), hybrid ann with biogeography-based optimization (ann-bbo), and multi-output adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (manfis) to estima...
