With a mean precipitation rate, much lower than that of the world, Iran is among the countries that face severe water challenges. The present study has dealt with the evaluation of hydrochemistry of Faryab spring water in Hormozgan Province, Iran. Four different composite water samples have been analyzed to detect major anions, cations, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, pH, and s...

In this research, the effects of irrigation with saline and fresh water through drip irrigation method and using two irrigation management strategies: M1, M2 (M1 is irrigation with fresh water in alternative with saline water, M2 is saline water in first half time of each irrigation event and fresh water in the second half), on the yield, water productivity (WP), soil salinity, plant height...

This paper presents results of hydro-chemical processes controlling groundwater chemical composition, using an integrated application of hierarchical cluster analysis and factor analysis of a major ion data set of groundwater from Mighan playa aquifer. Cluster analysis classified samples into four clusters(A, B, C and D) according to their dominant chemical composition: cluster A (dominant comp...
