background : collection and storage of roof rain water have been practiced for long time ago in iran and many other countries. water of cisterns is usually used as potable water. in golestan province many of rural torkman residents reservoir the most part of their potable water from roof rain in cisterns. in this province there are over 2600 cisterns. methods : to study the water quality, micro...

Eutrophication is a major problem in China. To combat this issue, the country needs to establish water quality targets, monitoring systems, and intelligent watershed management. This study explores a new watershed management method. Water quality is first assessed using a single factor index method. Then, changes in total nitrogen/total phosphorus (TN/TP) are analyzed to determine the limiting ...

today, water resources stored in reservoirs is one of the basic sources of drinking-water. the elements in the sediments of reservoirs are the most important factors affecting water quality. unlike the primary plan, due to water shortage problems, nowadays, almost all the stored water in the kardeh reservoir is allocated to drinking water. from the other side in the catchment area of this dam a...

Agricultural and fisheries activities around the watershed of an African tropical reservoir (Oyun reservoir, Offa, Nigeria) were found to contribute significantly to water quality deterioration of the dam axis of the reservoir, leading to eutrophication of that part of the reservoir. This is evident from the high amount of nitrate (6.4 mg/l), phosphate (2.2 mg/l) and sulphate (16.9 mg/l) in the...

Depositional and post-depositional (diagenetic) processes control the distribution of porosity and permeability within petroleum reservoir rocks. The understanding of these controls is essential for the construction of models for the systematic characterization and prediction of the quality (porosity, permeability) of petroleum reservoirs during their exploration and production. The description...

The Class 2 Project at West Welch was designed to demonstrate the use of advanced technologies to enhance the economics of improved oil recovery (IOR) projects in lower quality Shallow Shelf Carbonate (SSC) reservoirs, resulting in recovery of additional oil that would otherwise be left in the reservoir at project abandonment. Accurate reservoir description is critical to the effective evaluati...

The Aras reservoir, located in the north-west of Iran, plays an important role in fisheries, drinking and agricultural water supplies and recreational activities in the region. This study was performed to characterize the seasonal fluctuations of phytoplankton communities and their relationship with environmental factors in the Aras reservoir from August 2013 to May 2014. Sampling was carried o...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbiological quality of different commercial mineral water brands, wells and reservoir supplies in surrounding areas of the city of Marília, Brazil, to determine the amount of total and fecal coliforms. Eighteen samples of each source (mineral and reservoir supplies) were analyzed using Colilert Technique in cellophane. The results revealed that one ...
