The Funil Reservoir receives a large amount of xenobiotics from the Paraíba do Sul River (PSR) from large number of industries and municipalities in the watershed. This study aimed to assess environmental quality along the longitudinal profile of the Paraíba do Sul River-Funil Reservoir system, by using biomarkers and bioindicators in a selected fish species. The raised hypothesis is that Funil...

the present study was carried out to determine the possible origins of sediments entering taleghan dam in northern part of iran, in order to avoid further sedimentation and helping in extension of the useful life of the proposed dam. this was performed by xrd analysis. to do so, first of all, sediment sampling points were positioned along the taleghan river. the collected samples, after coding,...

in this study, the concentrations of heavy metals (ca, zn, cu, fe, mn, ni) in thesediment of shavoor river in khuzestan province in iran has been investigated. after the library studies and field studies, six samples of water and sediment were taken from the river in order to evaluate heavy metal pollution in sediments. to determine the geochemical phases of metals in sediment samples the 5-ste...

Sedimentation in reservoirs lowers the quality of consumed water, reduce the volume of reservoir, lowers the controllable amount of flood, increases the risk of water overflow during possible floods and the risk of reversal and reduction of dam's useful life. So in all stages of dam establishment such as cognitive studies, phase-1 studies of design, control, construction and maintenance, the pr...

in this research, using an expansive channel in plan and along the longitudinal profile, deltaic reservoir sedimentation was studied. sedimentation in bed load governed conditions and delta formation in reservoir environment is a function of various parameters such as: geometrical shape of reservoir, bottom slope, hydrological properties and hydraulic conditions of inflowing stream, sediment lo...

Dam construction is widespread, changing the hydrological and biogeochemical conditions thereby bacterial communities in rivers of earth. To date, knowledge lacking about cascade reservoirs. Here, we investigated potential functions nine hydropower reservoirs 1290 km upper Mekong River (Lancang China). Along reservoir cascade, water temperature, rather than presence dams, was main cause for geo...
