Karun River is the largest and most watery river in Iran. This river is the longest river which located just inside Iran and Ahvaz Metropolis drinking water supplied from Karun River as well (fa.alalam.ir). Karun River as the main source of water treatment plants in Ahvaz, like most surface waters affected by various contaminants which caused changes in water quality of the river (www.aww.co.ir...

Different types of Optimizing the Parameters Hydrological Routing Methods using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Algorithm for Flood in Karun River

in recent years, the water quality of karun river, iran, has been affected by different pollutant loads such as agricultural drainages, municipal and industrial wastewaters.water quality index (wqi) and gis as an efficient tool can be used to provide necessary support for decisions of the management actions in this river and also capability of time series models can be beneficial for forecastin...

the systematics, morphology, distribution, biology, economic importance and conservation of the spiny eel ( mastacembelus mastacembelus ) of iran are described, the species is illustrated, and a bibliography on this fish is provided. the single species is distributed in southern iranian basins, including karkheh, karun, jarrahi and helleh river basins, mostly part of the tigris river and persia...

introduction: colloidal materials and suspended solids cause turbidity in water. to remove turbidity, clarification method is used that includes processes of coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation. due to the long duration of coagulation process, coagulant aids are applied. despite the favorable efficiency of synthetic polyelectrolytes as a coagulant aid, due to their harmful effects on h...

evaluation of surface water quality is a complex process undertakingmultiple parameters. converting great amount of parameters into a simpler expressionand enabling easy interpretation of data are the main purposes of water quality indices.the main aim of this study is to plan effective water resources management system forkarun river by combination of ccmewqi and geographic information system ...

during late nineteenth century, khuzistan was considered to be the most fertile land of persia which at one time had yielded $ 50 million if calculated on 1962 price index. many british officials presented in iran and india office have recorded the abundance of water through a network of five rivers and canals, making khuzistan a fertile ground for major staple and cash crops. at the time when ...

in recent decades, the developments of artificial intelligence to predict hydrologic models have been widely used. in this study, the ability of artificial neural network(ann) models for modeling and predict the biological oxygen demand (bod) is located on the karun river in west iran were evaluated. to improve the simulation results, wavelet analysis was used as a hybrid model. bod index month...

the length-weight relationships for three fish species from beheshtabad river, karun river drainage (western chaharmahal and bakhtiari provinces, iran) were investigated. the values of the slope parameter ( b ) in the length-weight relationship equations were determined as 2.79 for capoeta damascina , 3.10 for chondrostoma regium and 3.09 for oncorhynchus mykiss , all of which were significantl...
