With a mean precipitation rate, much lower than that of the world, Iran is among the countries that face severe water challenges. The present study has dealt with the evaluation of hydrochemistry of Faryab spring water in Hormozgan Province, Iran. Four different composite water samples have been analyzed to detect major anions, cations, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, pH, and s...

Concepts and terms used in previous multidisciplinary studies of tile-drained aquitard-dominated catchments (TDADC) are inconsistent confusing. We provide a well-defined, comprehensive conceptual model the subsurface hydrology TDADC by selecting seven mutually compatible consistent concepts. These concepts are: (1) groundwater as main source baseflow headwater streams, (2) dominance ‘pre-event’...

The American brine shrimp Artemia franciscana is important in aquaculture and has become invasive other continents, aided by dispersal via waterbirds. However, little known about processes underlying its genetic diversity population structure natural habitat North America. These processes, including local adaptation, are pivotal drivers of species distribution community structure, therefore cen...
