it is necessary to care the quantity and quality of the water resources especially in arid and semi-arid regions. shahrekord plain where it has a 551 km2 total area, groundwater is discharging almost 255 mcm annually and uses for drinking and agriculture. the main objective of this study was classification of groundwater quality and comparison with the drinking water standard limits in shahreko...

Lakes in temperate regions stratify during summer and winter months, creating distinct layers of water differentiated by their physical and chemical characteristics. When lakes mix in autumn and spring, mercury cycling may be affected by the chemical changes that occur during mixing. Sampling was conducted in Lake Lacawac, Eastern Pennsylvania, USA, throughout the autumn of 2007 to characterize...

Rivers can absorb certain amounts of contamination relying on different factors such as: river discharge, the primary conditions of the river, the river depth, discharge and the river viscosity of the offloaded wastes in the river. From parameters of water quality point of view, it is recom-mended to determine some parts of the river which are lower than the standard level in order to find out ...

Water is a unique natural resource among all sources available on earth. It plays an important role in economic development and the general well-being of the country. This study aimed at using the application of water quality index in evaluating the ground water quality innorth-east area of Jaipur in pre and post monsoon for public usage. Total eleven physico–chemical characteristics; total dis...

In the current study, the qualitative status of potable well water was assessed using the groundwater quality index during a course of 4 years (2014-2017). This study was carried out with an aim to monitor the drinking water resources from 12 potable wells on the multivariate analysis basis and for determination of groundwater quality index, the following 13 physicochemical parameters including...

introductiondue to shortage of fresh water resources, the quality of impounded water behind the dams becomemore important than how it was previously as a source of fresh water resource. thermal regime anddissolved oxygen concentration are factors that affect the quality of water reservoirs.many lakes show vertical stratification of their water masses, at least for some extended timeperiods. the...

Multivariate statistical techniques such as cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling and principal component analysis were applied to evaluate the temporal and spatial variations in water quality data set generated for two years (2008-2010) from six monitoring stations of Veli-Akkulam Lake and compared with a regional reference lake Vellayani of south India. Seasonal variations of 14 differen...

Both groundwater flow and mercury concentrations in pore water and seawater were quantified in the groundwater seeping site of the Bay of Puck, southern Baltic Sea. Total dissolved mercury (HgTD) in pore water ranged from 0.51 to 4.90 ng l-1. Seawater samples were characterized by elevated HgTD concentrations, ranging from 4.41 to 6.37 ng l-1, while HgTD concentrations in groundwater samples ra...
