conjunctive use of ground and surface water can increase reliability of the water supply by providing independent sources. in this study, corrected utility-efficient pro-gramming that allows for more than one seasonal irrigation depth for each crop was used to determine the amount of utility maximizing investment in the well capacity for conjunctive use. results showed that optimum investment a...

[1] We have explored surface water mixing in the Lombok Strait through a bimonthly resolved surface water DC time series reconstructed from a coral in the Lombok Strait that spans 1937 through 1990. The prebomb surface water DC average is 60.5%, and individual samples range from 72% to 134%. The annual average postbomb maximum occurs in 1973 at 122%. The timing of the postbomb maximum is consis...

impacts of land use types on wetland functions were investigated in three surface water wetlands, located in west japan. nitrogen concentration was monthly sampled and measured in input, output and inside of the wetlands. findings of the present study revealed that function of the wetlands and its capabilities for reduction or remove of the nutrients from surface water are varied by change in t...

An ultrafine grain surface layer with average crystallite size of 28 nm was produced on annealed mild steel through a wire brushing process. The effects of grain size reduction on the inhibition performance of sodium phosphate were investigated using polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The crystal grain size of wire brushed surface was analyzed by X-ray d...

Assessment of seasonal changes in surface water quality is an important aspect for evaluating temporal variations of river pollution due to natural or anthropogenic inputs of point and non-point sources. In this study, surface water quality data for 16 physical and chemical parameters collected from 22 monitoring stations in a river during the years from 1998 to 2001 were analyzed. The principa...

Disinfection by-products were determined in 15 water treatment plants in Beijing City. The effects of different water sources (surface water source, mixture water source and ground water source), seasonal variation and spatial variation were examined. Trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids were the major disinfection by-products found in all treated water samples, which accounted for 42.6% and 38...
