The zooplankton community structure in Eğirdir Lake (Isparta-Turkey) was studied monthly throughout an annual cycle (January 2010-December 2010). The zooplankton community was represented by three main groups: Rotifera, Cladocera and Copepoda, respectively comprised 89.62%, 7.78% and 2.60% of the total zooplankton abundance. Eğirdir Lake was dominated by the rotifera Polyarthra dolichoptera in ...

(DO) is considered the most important water quality variable in fish culture. In the broadest sense, however, dissolved oxygen concentration is no more important than other environmental variables because any factor that is outside the range tolerated by fish can cause stress or death. What makes dissolved oxygen concentration so important in intensive fish culture is the speed with which it ca...

the aim of this study was to determine the concentration of free residual chlorine in the effluent at different concentrations of chlorine injection, between 50 to 350 ppm, at the ph levels of 6, 6.5 and 7 and the effect of chlorination on ph, electrical conductivity and the concentration of total dissolved solids in drinking water and effluent. the results showed that the concentration of free...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in surface waters affects the fate and environmental effects of trace metals. We measured variability in the Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn affinity of 23 DOM samples isolated by reverse osmosis from freshwaters in natural, agricultural, and urban areas. Affinities at uniform pH and ionic composition were assayed at low, environmentally relevant free Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn activi...

groundwater quality assessment and selection of appropriate methods of zoning depends on the region conditions, and data availability. the correct choice is a key milestone and a major step forward in the management of groundwater resources. the aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of groundwater for drinking and irrigation purposes in the west of marivan city, iran. for this purpose, ...

The disinfection by-product (DBP) formation was affected by the dissolved organic matter (DOM). Therefore, DOM properties and DBP potential of two most widely used source waters: groundwater (GW) surface water (SW), were comparatively studied in this work. results suggested that GW mainly consisted protein-like organics with smaller molecular weight (Mw) less than 3000 Da, while SW contained hu...
