The organic matter in the sea is unevenly distributed between the living plant and animal population, the suspended detritus, the organic matter in the sea bottom, and that present in the water in true and in colloidal solution. The living forms and the detritus make up only a small part of the total organic matter in the sea; the ratio between the organic matter in solution and that present in...

INTRODUCTION Diarrhoea is a leading cause of death globally, mostly occurring as a result of insufficient or unsafe water supplies, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene. Our study aims to investigate the impact of a community-level hygiene education program and a water quality intervention using riverbank filtration (RBF) technology on diarrhoeal prevalence. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We have des...

This paper presents a systematic analysis of the hydraulic flushing capacity stored volume water to remove sediments. is based on 90 laboratory experiments in which sediment evacuated was measured for varying initial volumes water, three bed slopes, and sizes. The consisted rapid emptying reservoir by means suddenly opening tilting gate downstream. produced an accelerated flow eroded mobile res...

Seasonal variability impact on livestock production and management stems from poor pasture quality and quantity as well as shortage of water. During wet season, there is usually sufficient quantity of pasture in good quality for animal consumption; but during dry season, there is always insufficient pasture as well as shortage of water for livestock consumption. As a result of these, exploratio...

background: in the present study, histopathological effects of chronic exposure to sodium arsenate in drinkable water were studied on a quantity of organs of rat. methods: rats were divided into two groups, group i served as control group, were main-tained on deionized drinkable water for 2 months, and group ii the study group were given 60 g/ml of sodium arsenate in deionized drinkable water ...

the industrial effluents of three textile plants in the south of tehran were studied. in each plant all related factors such as raw material consumption, production processes and water use at different points were examined. these plants discharge their effluents into the environment without any treatment. the common characteristics of these wastes are quantity and quality variability, organic p...
