the zarivar lake a freshwater lake in west of kurdistan province is home for large number of native plant and animal species therefore water quality and health of the lake are vital for conservation of these species. the present study aimed at evaluation of the zarivar lake using nsf- wqi as an indicator of water quality. wqi is a suitable tool to examine and classify spatial and temporal varia...

Egypt is one of the most vulnerable countries to the potential impacts and risks of climate change. More than 95 % of the water budget of Egypt is received from the River Nile, which is very sensitive to temperature and precipitation changes. Aswan High Dam (AHD) reservoir, one of the largest man-made lakes in the world, is almost the sole source of freshwater to the country; hence, Egypt reali...

water quality trading is a new approach in pollution control which satisfies water quality standards suggesting minimum cost solutions. this method uses tradable discharge permits based on pollution transfer coefficient in a river. this paper tries to establish a water quality trading program in a river basin according to transfer coefficients between pollution sources and evaluate cost effecti...

The article considered the ecological index of water quality, which is used for planning protection activities, developing measures, carrying out and economic zoning, mapping; pollution index, determined by hydrochemical indicators; modified Horton quality models; Water Quality Index proposed Canadian Council Ministers Environment; Said to assess general use; in river subbasin a certain year; N...

background the chemical and physical quality of water used for dialysis fluid is a vital factor in the patients overall care who receive dialysis. therefore, the water used for this purpose must be treated with advanced methods before being used for dialysis. conclusions the evaluation of hemodialysis water quality showed that these hospitals were not significantly polluted and the water qualit...

Boundary environmental pollution and pollution spillovers are important issues for improving the water quality of trans-boundary rivers. This paper explores the empirical effects of the evolution of the pollution reduction mandates on boundary pollution by studying the change of water pollution levels (as proxied by pH, BOD, COD and NH3-N) of key state monitoring stations from 2004 to 2014. The...

In China, with the rapid urbanization and industrialization, and highly accelerated economic development have resulted in degradation of water resource. The water quality deterioration usual result from eutrophication in most cases, so how to dispose this type pollution water higher efficiently is an urgent task. Hower, different with traditional technology, constructed wetlands are effective t...

this study was conducted to assess water quality level of zarin gol stream on macrobenthic invertebrates. macrobenthic fauna were sampled from 9 selected sampling stations along the stream with an average distance of 22 km by using a surber sampler every 45 days during the year. sampling was replicated 9 times in each sampling station. collected samples were fixed with 4% formalin, isolated, an...

Introduction: Inappropriate management of mining activities may bring about water pollution and pose a heavy complication on aquatic ecosystem and humans. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of Qorveh gold mining activities on the quality of nearby groundwater. Materials and Methods: The concentration of seven eco-toxic metals along with some general hydrochemical parameters were investigat...
