Phytoplankton and water quality of Marathonas drinking-water Reservoir were examined for the first time. During the study period (July-September 2007), phytoplankton composition was indicative of eutrophic conditions although phytoplankton biovolume was low (max. 2.7 mm³ l⁻¹). Phytoplankton was dominated by cyanobacteria and diatoms, whereas desmids and dinoflagellates contributed with lower bi...

The removal of reservoir silt and the restoration existing capacities through land excavation hydraulic sediment flushing have become necessary. Hydraulic discharge changes flow conditions downstream river channel. In Tamsui River estuary in Taiwan, from Shihmen upstream has potential impacts on morphology navigation channels adjacent coasts. This study employed a validated coastal estuarine pr...

Sediment-maintenance flushing flows designed to mimic the action of natural floods in removing the accumulated fine sediments from the channel and loosening the gravel bed have been increasingly proposed as an effective alternative in dam management and a required component of riverine restoration programmes. However, reservoir releases are generally associated with financial and environmental ...

today, water resources stored in reservoirs is one of the basic sources of drinking-water. the elements in the sediments of reservoirs are the most important factors affecting water quality. unlike the primary plan, due to water shortage problems, nowadays, almost all the stored water in the kardeh reservoir is allocated to drinking water. from the other side in the catchment area of this dam a...

Abstract Water distribution system flushing is one way to get rid of contamination. In conventional flushing, all the contaminated water discharged environment, thereby harming it. A new method proposed here as an alternative solution, in which a containment pond lined with impermeable material will be constructed suitable place within municipality. Network modelling was performed investigate f...

The HIV field has seen an increased interest in novel cure strategies. In particular, new latency reversal agents are in development to reverse latency to flush the virus out of its hiding place. Combining these efforts with immunotherapeutic approaches may not only drive the virus out of latency, but allow for the rapid elimination of these infected cells in a "shock and kill" approach. Beyond...
