The direct effects of a Virginia trout farm on benthic macroinvertebrates were examined using multiple approaches. Static laboratory tests with the amphipod, Hyallela azteca, were conducted with exposures to water taken from a spring and from effluent both above and below a sedimentation basin. Onsite mesocosms were constructed to expose previously colonized artificial substrates to the same tr...

Water obtained from any source may contain impurities induced by erosion, dissolved minerals, dissolved gases and material produced from organic matter decomposing. If the amount of these substances exceed a certain limit, not only the water would not be potable, but the water containing the material will not be suitable to be used in most applications, or at least before treatment cannot be ap...

The Blue Nile Basin, situated in the Northwestern Ethiopian Plateau, contains 1400 m thick Mesozoic sedimentary section underlain by Neoproterozoic basement rocks and overlain by Early–Late Oligocene and Quaternary volcanic rocks. This study outlines the stratigraphic and structural evolution of the Blue Nile Basin based on field and remote sensing studies along the Gorge of the Nile. The Blue ...

During the late Holocene, sediment deposition on the lowland Cosumnes River floodplain, CA has depended on factors that varied temporally and spatially, such as basin subsidence, sea level rise, flow, and sediment supply from both the Sacramento River system and from the Cosumnes River system itself, and anthropogenic changes. Through field investigations and analyses of historical maps, bridge...

Magnetostratigraphy of sedimentary rock deposited in the Chaka basin (north-easternTibetan Plateau) indicates a lateMiocene onset of basin formation and subsequent development of the adjacent Qinghai Nan Shan. Sedimentation in the basin initiated at 11Ma. In the lower part of the basin ¢ll, a coarsening-upward sequence starting at 9Ma, as well as rapid sedimentation rates, and northward paleocu...

Jeneberang Basin is situated in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. In the recent years, the function of this basin could not be performed optimally in maintaining sustainability hydrologic function of Jeneberang dam. Therefore, in order to maintain the hydrologic function of the dam, it is necessary to formulate suitable landuse at upstream of the river basin. This research is objected to formulate pol...

[1] Temperature and suspended particle distribution were surveyed and modeled in two high-Alpine reservoirs in Switzerland, connected by pumped-storage operations for 30 years. Due to different glacier coverage of the catchments, the two reservoirs exhibit different particle concentrations and temperatures. After ice-breakup, the lower reservoir with a higher glacier cover in its catchment expe...
