The economical and industrial aspects of aquatic organisms like fish make the
topic of toxicants important. The present study was carried out to measure the
accumulation of heavy metals (Pb, Sn and Zn) in the liver and muscle of pike
(Esox lucius). Totally, 60 pikes have been collected from 6 stations in the
Anzali wetland (the south coast of the Caspian Sea) included Pirbazar, Anzali,

Physicochemical and Bacteriological Water Quality Across Different Forms of Land Use on the Mahafaly Plateau, MadagascarSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 111-124 - 2014
Jean R. Rasoloariniaina, Jörg U. Ganzhorn, Noromalala Raminosoa
The sub-arid southwest of Madagascar is one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots
combined with exceptional poverty and high risk of further temperature increase
that will aggravate the living and health conditions of the people. As bases for
future water management, we measured the physicochemical and microbiological
quality of water sources across different forms of land use in the protected

Non-revenue water (NRW) in urban water distribution networks is a very demanding
task to handle. NRW impacts are economic (lost revenues), environmental (water
and energy losses) and social (inefficient water pricing policies not based on
the actual water consumption profile/patterns). To deal with NRW, water
utilities turn to water audit tools and water loss control methods. In this
context, WATE... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of the Contribution of N-Fertilizers to Nitrate Pollution of Groundwater in Western Iran (Case Study: Ghorveh–Dehgelan Aquifer)Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 143-151 - 2014
Omid Rahmati, Aliakbar Nazari Samani, Nariman Mahmoodi, Mohammad Mahdavi
Nitrate pollution of groundwater resources has increasingly become a global
concern. Groundwater from the Ghorveh-Dehgelan aquifer serves as the main source
of water supply for drinking and irrigation within the province of Kurdistan
(western Iran). This study investigated (1) groundwater nitrate status as well
as the pollution sources and (2) the spatial extent of groundwater nitrate
pollution in... hiện toàn bộ
Comparative Investigation of Water Quality Parameters of Aerial & Rangat Bay, Andaman Islands Using In-Situ Measurements and Spatial Modelling TechniquesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 57-67 - 2013

Aerial Bay and Rangat Bay witness extensive and diverse activities such as
tourism, shipping and fisheries. These activities along with domestic discharge
may significantly affect the seawater quality in the bays. Therefore seawater
samples were analyzed to comprehend the physicochemical and biological variables
and its sources that affected the seawater quality at both the bays. The
land-use/land... hiện toàn bộ
Does Above-Normal Precipitation Reduce the Impact of Mountain Cattle Grazing on Watershed Algae and Bacteria?Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 105-112 - 2012
Robert W. Derlet, John R. Richards, Charles R. Goldman
Cattle grazing is believed to have a harmful impact on high elevation Sierra
Nevada mountain (Sierra) watersheds. During normal precipitation years, the
prevalence of suspended stream and small lake aquatic coliforms and E. coli is
significantly increased in cattle-grazed areas, and periphytic algae biomass is
amplified. In addition, large numbers of E. coli are found attached to algae
only in cat... hiện toàn bộ
Spatial Distribution of Sulfate Concentration in Groundwater of South-Punjab, PakistanSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 503-513 - 2015

Sulfate causes various health issues for human if on average daily intake of
sulfate is more than 500 mg from drinking-water, air, and food. Moreover, the
presence of sulfate in rainwater causes acid rains which has harmful effects on
animals and plants. Food is the major source of sulfate intake; however, in
areas of South-Punjab, Pakistan, the drinking-water containing high levels of
sulfate may... hiện toàn bộ
