background: groundwater resources in arid and semi arid regions are very important. groundwater is contaminated by agricultural, industrial and municipal activity which as a result reduces its quality. investigating of the chemical quality of the groundwater is emphasized to identify pollutant environmental impacts associated with incorrect waste disposal practice. this research investigated th...

Drinking water has received considerable attention recently. However, misuse and mismanagement have resulted in a rapid and widespread decline in source-water quality and supply. Water quality guidelines can be used to identify constituents of concern in water, to determine the levels to which the constituents of water must be treated for drinking purposes. Membrane technology for the water cyc...

Maintaining water quality in distribution systems has become a prominent issue in the study of water networks. This thesis concentrates on disinfectant and particle counts as two important indicators of water quality. The models discussed in this work are based on data collected by the author. The experimental set-up and procedure are described and observations of particle counts, particle coun...

l and drainage has been central to the development of North America since colonial times, with the first organized drainage efforts occurring as early as the 1600s (Evans et al. 1996). Drainage has been encouraged to improve public highways, reduce public health risks, promote increased crop yield and reduced yield variability, reduce surface runoff and erosion, and increase land value. Agricul...

background: the objective of the study is examining the microbial quality of drinking water in kashan’s villages, and determining the usage of safe water in rural population in terms of microbial quality in the second-half 2007. also the role of kashan rural water and wastewater company (krwwc) in improving drinking water quality in kashan rural areas was investigated. methods: in this descript...

Abstract Introduction: Determining the quality of water is particularly important in water resources management, and monitoring and zoning it are considered as a significant principle to be taken into account in planning. Schuller method is the commonest way to determine the quality of water. The present study was conducted in order to determine the quality of drinking water using Schuller mod...

background: one issue of concern in water supply is the quality of water. measuring the qualitative parameters of water is time-consuming and costly. predicting these parameters using various models leads to a reduction in related expenses and the presentation of overall and comprehensive statistics for water resource management. methods: the present study used an artificial neural network (ann...
