abstract in this study, seven main field crops of the rudasht and abshar irrigation networks of esfahan (with 54,000 ha designed command area) such as wheat, barley, onion, sunflower, fodder mays and sugar beet were selected and swap model was calibrated by inverse modeling base on field experiments results in order to determine crop water salinity production functions. field experiments were c...

Population growth and urban development dramatically alter natural watershed ecosystem structure and functions and stress water resources. We review studies on the impacts of urbanization on hydrologic and biogeochemical processes underlying stream water quantity and water quality issues, as well as water supply challenges in an urban environment. We conclude that converting forest lands to urb...

evaluating the quality and quantity of water resources is crucial for a sustainable development. one of the simplest methods that is able to indicate the conditions of water quality in a short period and at a low cost, compared with the physicochemical methods, is by using the biological water quality indices. identifying the contamination of water resources using biomarkers, especially indices...
