conclusions by combining the two tests, a rapid approach to estimation of most probable number of chlorinated methane utilizing bacteria is introduced. treatment by nanosilver particles was resulted in the easier and faster biodegradation of chloroform by bacteria. thus, degradation of these chlorinated compounds is more efficient compared to cometabolism. results most probable number of methyl...

playas are low-lands which is considered to be the locations of accumulation of superficial and ground waters fromhigher elevations and these waters have different types of salts and various salinity level. therefore, because of lack ofrainfall and fresh-water both for human and animal useage or even for plants, it is needed to apply proper methods toharvest fresh water from these saline-waters...

The history of remote sensing and development of different sensors for environmental and natural resources mapping and data acquisition is reviewed and reported. Application examples in urban studies, hydrological modeling such as land-cover and floodplain mapping, fractional vegetation cover and impervious surface area mapping, surface energy flux and micro-topography correlation studies is di...

Today climate change is one of the most important human concerns This fact affected human life in different ways .  one of the most important impacts of climate change is on crops yield so that change in temperature  regime  particularly maximum and minimum  temperatures  is noticeably change plants production . in this research , is considered to  impact of climate change on water requirement ...

In this paper, an inexact two-stage stochastic programming model was developed for supporting regional water resource allocation management under uncertainties. The proposed model is an integrated framework of interval parameter programming and two-stage stochastic programming, which can tackle uncertain parameters expressed as interval values with probability distribution information. The prop...

Environmental Flow Requirement (EFR) is defined as the flow that is necessary to ensure the existence of habitats in water resources systems. EFR is defined in rivers as flow index commonly. Tennant method is the most popular hydrological method in rivers and based on the historic flow data. The most common method of hydraulic rating method is the wetted perimeter method. Habitat simulation tec...

abstract this study was conducted to determine the best drip irrigation method for pepper cultivation with the objective of water saving and obtaining maximum yield. the study was done during two years. experimental design was randomized complete blocks design (rcbd) in split plot with four replications. three different drip irrigation methods; drip irrigation with in-line emitter tubes, drip i...

in order to study the effects of drought stress on yield and yield components of safflower genotypes, a split plot based on randomized complete block design with four replications was performed at the research field, islamic azad university, arak, iran during summer of 2009. irrigation treatments included three levels of 100, 75 and 50% crop water requirement and four levels of safflower genoty...

Water is an essential nutrient for all physiological functions and particularly important for thermoregulation. About 60% of our body weight is made of water. Under standard conditions (18-20 °C and moderate activity), water balance is regulated within 0.2 % of body weight over a 24-hour period. Water requirement varies between individuals and according to environmental conditions. Concerning c...
