groundwater contamination is a serious problem facing the countries. because groundwater is vulnerable to contamination from a variety of sources, and, once contaminated, it is very difficult to restore to its original quality. the main objective of this study was evaluation of groundwater quality in shahrekord aquifer and finding the source of the groundwater contamination. some of the chemica...

The aim of the present study was to characterize the physical, biochemical and antioxidant properties of Algerian honey samples (n = 4). Physical parameters, such as pH, moisture content, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), color intensity, total sugar and sucrose content were measured. Several biochemical and antioxidant tests were performed to determine the antioxidant...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the physical, biochemical and antioxidant properties of four Malaysian monofloral types of honey (gelam, longan, rubber tree and sourwood honeys) compared to manuka honey. Several physical parameters of honey, such as pH, moisture content, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), color intensity, total sugar and sucrose ...

Bacterial consortia BMP1 (containing six isolates), BMP2 (three isolates) and BBP (three isolates) were isolated from textile affected soil, sludge and effluent of Hudiara drain in vicinity of Nishat Mills Limited 5Km Off 22Km Ferozepur Road Lahore, Pakistan. These consortia were capable of degrading red, green, black and yellow dyes and were resistant to heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, Mn & Pb)....

A total of 252 water samples were collected from 42 sites across the upper Han River basin during the time period from 2005-2006. Major ions (Cl(-), NO3(-), SO4(2-), HCO3(-), Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+), Si, water temperature, pH, EC and TDS were determined and consequently correlation matrix, analysis of variance, factor analysis and principal component analysis were performed in order to identify...

Due to pressure of human activity, urbanization and industrialization, the ground water sources are degraded gradually; therefore pure, safe, healthy and odorless drinking water is a matter in deep concern. There are many pollutants in ground water due to sewage viz., organic and inorganic pollutants, heavy metals, pesticides, fluoride etc; the purpose was to ascertain the quality of water from...

nowadays, much attention has been paid on using geostatistical methods for estimation of spatial parameters, either using the variables of these parameters (kriging) or auxiliary variables (cokriging), in water and soil sciences. the quality of ground water for agriculture is very important; however, it is expensive and time consuming to measure parameters such as sar, na, ca, th, tds and ec. t...
