Assessing the quality of groundwater is important to ensure the sustainablesafe use of these resources. However, describing the overall water quality condition isdifficult due to the spatial variability of multiple contaminants and the wide range ofindicators (chemical, physical and biological) that could be measured. Therefore, in thiscase study, some water quality parameters including Na, Mg,...

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the results of laboratory tests and field surveys using ground penetrating radar (GPR) method to detect qanats at main campus Shahid Bahonar University Kerman (SBUK), Iran. The purpose experiments was explore optimum frequency GPR for subsoil in study site. We performed a variety with 3 GHz antenna (simulated dielectric empty targets) hosted by sand volumetric...

Certain major ancient engineering constructions, such as aqueducts and qanats, testify to high accuracies in the computation of elevation differences obtained using primitive levelling instruments. Based on the typology of ancient levelling instruments and the analysis of certain key ancient structures such as the (Eupalinos) tunnel at Samos Island (Greece), it became possible to specify the ac...

Abstract Qanat is an ancient water harvesting technology which used for irrigation, agriculture and drinking in many countries of the world. A key element preserving this heritage calculating their protection area. In study, main aim depiction hydraulic harim qanat with usage meshless numerical method. Afterward, package has been added to model delineate qanat. Two systems are shown here: one a...

This study aims to evaluate the hydrogeochemistry of aquifers in Fars province, Iran, from 2007 2017 and assess groundwater’s suitability for drinking agricultural uses. A total 35,000 samples were collected wells qanats across province. Piper, Gibbs, Durov diagrams used hydrochemical facies processes. Cross plots different ions investigated ion exchange determine effects anthropogenic activiti...

Although the potential of traditional domestic rainwater harvesting systems (RWHSs) is easily determined, objective knowledge required to determine their sustainability or scientific validity. We aimed broadly review recent trends and emerging opportunities for research on RWHSs in global context. reviewed three types representative RWHSs: water cellars, stepwells, qanats. In total, 16 categori...

underground dams have recently been considered as hydrological structures for the development of water resources, especially in the dry regions of iran. in this investigation along with the basic studies and the aquifer flow modeling, the probable hydrogeological effects of an underground dam are investigated. the proposed place for the ganjeh underground dam is chehel-khaneh aquifer located in...
