Corrosion and scaling in drinking water sources can lead to economic and health damages. These processes produce by-products in distribution systems, reduce chemical water quality, and are the cause of health issues among consumers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the corrosion and scaling potential of water supply sources of Marivan villages, Iran. In total, 106 water samples were collec...

Samothraki is a northern Aegean island with poorly studied inland waters. River features show a high degree of naturalness; lotic, lentic and riparian conditions exhibit significant perennial flows with waterfalls, pools and ancient riparian woodlands. In this study, we document surface and ground water quality status based on recent field observations, data collection and analyses. The island ...

Groundwater is essential to modern human survival during drought periods. There is also growing geological evidence of springs associated with stone tools and hominin fossils in the East African Rift System (EARS) during a critical period for hominin evolution (from 1.8 Ma). However it is not known how vulnerable these springs may have been to climate variability and whether groundwater availab...

Cyanobacteria represent a common component of algal assemblages in Florida's lakes, springs, estuaries, and other marine environments. The frequency of cyanobacterial bloom reports has recently become more common and algal toxin data are just beginning to be collected with the advent of monitoring efforts and the availability of laboratories in the state capable of conducting algal toxin analys...
