Abstract   Present research has been executed in Chaharmahal va Bakhtiary Province during 5 years in order to develop and establish hillside orchards using rainwater harvesting catchments. The region receives 300 mm of rainfall annually and has a moderate soil texture. Towards this goal, in a rangeland with a slope of 20 percent, microcatchments were made with 5 different treatments inc...

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

Due to the lack of adequate sources of drinking water and uncertainty about the quality of these sources, along with rising water demand due to population growth, it is important to find a suitable solution to supply drinking water. Rainwater harvesting from roofs and use of natural discharge from springs are among techniques which can replace surface and underground water resources. The city o...

Surface water resulted from rainfall-runoff responses in a basin is a potential water source that if it is managed properly can be useful to demand secure. In this study, hub coating algorithm (PR) and geographic information system (GIS) were used to identify areas with potential in Birjand plain for rainwater harvesting. The weight of 18 decision-making indices was calculated and prioritized u...
