background detergents and difficulties of their presence in the water and wastewater cause various problems such as foam production, anomalies in the growth of algae, and accumulation and dispersion in aqueous environments. objectives the aim of this study was to examine and compare the moving bed biofilm reactor with another reactor without media (carries) for anionic surfactants removal. mate...

Due to industrialization and environmental effects the drinking water quality has been greatly affected in Pakistan. A number of industries are draining their waste containing heavy metals without any treatment in effluents. As a result of this practice almost all of the fresh water resources are getting contaminated, although the deep aquifer in most of the countries is still safe from contami...

In this paper by using numerical evaluation the effect of balancing drupes of water hammer on tunnels lining is considered. In case of not arrangment of these reservoirs, the tunnel lining will be damaged of cyclic powers of water hammer. In this research, function of balancing reservoir of water hammer on cover of tunnels to the barriers’ turbine is simulated by numerical methods and Plaxis 3D...

background: rivers and streams are important sources of surface waters. water quality of these resources depends on many factors including hydrologic, physicochemical and biological factors. these resources are important in terms of social, economic and political development.. zayanderood river is the only river in central basin of iran that has permanent fresh water. this river has an importan...

Abnormal fluoride levels in drinking water have been associated with adverse health effects. To determine the fluoride content of well waters in Enugu, southeastern Nigeria, water samples from 50 artisan wells chosen by multistage sampling procedure from the 5 zones of Enugu municipality were analyzed in duplicates for their fluoride content. The zonal mean values were 0.60, 0.70, 0.62, 0.62, a...

Myanmar is one of the least developed countries in the world, and very little information is available regarding the nation's water quality. This report gives an overview of the current situation in the country, presenting the results of various water-quality assessments in urban areas of Myanmar. River, dam, lake, and well water sources were examined and found to be of generally good quality. ...

the aim of this study is to investigate the nitrate adsorption on granular ferric hydroxide (gfh). the effect of factors such as initial concentration of nitrate, ph, contact time, and adsorbent mass were determined. the study was done in laboratory–scale in which synthetic nitrate solutions in a batch reactor were placed in contact with the adsorbent to model adsorption kinetics. it was found ...

introduction: water scarcity is one of the major problems for crop production. using drip irrigation as an effective method in the efficient use of water is expanding in arid and semi-arid regions. one of the problems in under pressure irrigation during use of saline, unconventional and waste is emitters clogging. there are several ways to prevent particle deposits in pipes and clogging of emit...
