This paper provides information on the geographic distributions of two cyprinid species: Hemiculter leucisculus (Basilewsky, 1855) and Alburnus caeruleus Heckel, 1843, in the world and the entire drainage systems in Iran. The new distribution records were taken from Maroon River (Jarrahi River system) and Chardaval River (Karkheh river system), both in Tigris River basin showing wide and narrow...

in the case of iran with arid and semiarid climate and lack of freshwater, pay attention to water quality and its effective factors is necessary. karkheh watershed is more than 5 million hectares in area and with biggest soil dam in asia, which has widespread land use changes in last decades. the most important factors of water volume and water resources reduction are aridity and improper land ...

The interbasin water transfer project is an alternative to balance the nonuniform temporal and spatial distribution of water resources and water demands, especially in arid and semi arid regions. A water transfer project can be executed if it is environmentally and economically justified. In this study, the feasibility of two interbasin water transfer projects from Karoon River in the western p...

Abstract. Flood causes several threats with outcomes which include peril to human and animal life, damage property, adversity agricultural fields. Hence, flood prediction is highly significant for the mitigating municipal environmental damage. The aim of this study was assessing performance different machine learning methods in predicting Karkheh basin. To this, we used Support Vector Machine (...

according to the importance of obtaining accurate informations on drought conditions and it risk management for water right of major wetlands in iran, in this study climatic coefficients of palmer index for 17 watersheds in country was calibrated and zonation and their range in basins containing international wetlands were investigated. results showed that in wet conditions, in basins such as c...

introduction: soil has an important role in nutrient cycle and an important function in storage, refinement, and movement of nutrients for the living and non-living parts. soil pollution of heavy metals and elements is one of the common pollution impacts of human activities, especially industry. realization of distribution pattern of these elements and their anthropogenic sources is a major par...

a hydroponic experiment was carried out to compare root anatomy and hydraulic conductivity of four barley cultivars including valfajr, karoon, afzal and zarjo under salt stress conditions. the results showed that under salt stress, the minimum diameter of vessels was observed in the peripheral metaxylem of seminal roots of valfajr cultivar and in adventitious roots; karoon with 19±3 µm had maxi...
