Article
The present study findings indicated that the sedimentation problem is severe. The most obvious impact of sedimentation in a reservoir is the cumulative loss of its storage capacity, affecting both the operational plan and economic investments based on reservoir use, especially in the drinking sector. To determine the most appropriate method for es...

In the present scenario, groundwater is considered as an essential water source for domestic as well as irrigation utilization in the Birjand plain, an arid zone nestled in the east of Iran. Not only a broad knowledge of hydro as well as geochemical peculiarities, but also groundwater factors are essential for the viable use of groundwater origins....

Water quality for drinking and irrigation usage was examined in Kardeh dam basin in NE Iran. Thirty-two surface and groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for major ions of Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, HCO3⁻, CO3²⁻, SO4²⁻ and Cl⁻ by using standard analytical methods of titration and atomic absorption spectrophotometry at geochemistry laboratory of...

... Currently, 36% of the agricultural demand of water is met by groundwater extraction [20,21]. Keeping in mind the arid nature and hot climate of the country, the high abstraction rate of groundwater has been reported to drastically reduce its quantity and quality [22][23][24][25]. In general, groundwater is more likely to contain naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs) when compared to surface water due to its contact with rocks and soils in the aquifers, which are responsible for the enrichment of groundwater with NORMs [26]. ...
... The Wilcox diagram (1955) is a diagramming technique that also categorizes the key properties of hydrochemical compounds and displays water appropriateness in irrigation with reference to the solubility of salts and its impact on crops and soil (Mousazadeh et al., 2018). Irrigation water is divided into five groups in Wilcox's plot: excellent to good, good to permissible or legal, permissible to doubtful or dubious, doubtful to unsuitable, and unsuitable. ...
