Study of Al-Karamah and Sharq-Dijla drinking water purification and their byproduct effects on the Tigris River

Study of Al-Karamah and Sharq-Dijla drinking water purification and their byproduct effects on the Tigris River



Khalid A. Rasheed



Two studied stations were involved in this study
included Sharq–Dijla and Al-Karamah water purification stations. Water
samples collected from four sites with three replicates for each sample
of each site of the river and the station: before, after, inside the
stations and at the pipe. The study started in October 2012 to September
2013.
Results showed that the minimum level of water temperature was 11oC
during (December-January) at Sharq –Dijla.While the maximum level was
30oC during (August-September) at both AL-Karamah and Sharq –Dijla
stations. pH results revealed that the highest level of pH was 8.63
during (October-November) at AL-Karamah station followed by the lowest
level was 6.73 in(February- March) at Sharq –Dijla station. The highest
level of EC was 1068 µS/cm during (April-May) at Sharq-Dijla station,
while the lowest level was 693 µS/cm during (August- September) at the
same station.
The results of DO showed that the highest level was 11.51 ppm during
(December-January) at Sharq- Dijla station, while the lowest level was
4.25 ppm during (August- September) at AL- Karamah station.The BOD
results recorded the highest level of BOD5 was 4.49 ppm during
(August- September), and the lowest level was 0.67 ppm during
(December-January) both results at Sharq-Dijla station.
Total hardness showed that the highest level was about 404 ppm during
(December-January) at AL-Karamah station, and the lowest level 162 ppm
during (August- September) at the same station. Free chlorine
measurements found with Iraqi limits and WHO for these two stations. The
highest value of Iron concentration was 3.30ppm in (December-January)
at Al-Karamah station, while the lowest value was1.63ppm in (August-
September) at Sharq–Dijla station.

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal Abdullahi MG, Roslan U, Kamarudin M. K. A. Artificial light at night and its negative consequences are of great interest in the fields of Ecology, Human Geography Astronomy, and Human Health. Most of the studies to date concentrated on the influences of light pollution has on our ability to view the night sky, on biodiversity, and ecosystems. Though, in recent years, with the use of new technologies sensors, which provide accurate information for determining of night lights at the area, most consideration were given for estimating artificial light at night within the urban areas. In this study, urban night lights within the cities of Nigeria was evaluated by monitoring data from the ground measurements using Sky Quality Meter (SQM-LU-DL) devices. Besides, the SQM was used at the zenith (upward direction) for maximum evaluating of artificial light at the sites. Differences in night sky bri...

Studying the tendency of citizens to participate in the protection and development of land scape in Tehran

Studying the tendency of citizens to participate in the protection and development of land scape in Tehran Shadi Maleki, Abbas Mafi, Seyedeh Mahsa Hosseini Today, as an essential part and parcel of urban landscape that they play a major role in metabolism and create a lack of serious damage to urban life. This study performed to investigate the willingness of citizens to participate in activities to protect and develop landscapeof Tehran district 4. The research was descriptive and correlation method that is used for collecting information. The statistical population consisted of district 4 of Tehran. The sample size was determined 230 by using Cochrane method. A questionnaire was used to collect data. According to the research, 63.04 percent of citizens showed participation in a high level. Among the variables investigated how citizen participation in conservation and development of landscape, effective strategies to motivate citizens to participate,the reasons for la...

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin Adimasu Woldesenbet Worako   Land use land cover change (LULCC) is the result of the long time process of natural and anthropogenic activities that has been practiced on the land. GIS and remote sensing are the best tools that support to generate the relevant land use/cover change in the basin. This study was conducted in the Akaki River basin to detect land use land cover changes within the 30 years period (1985-2015) by using landsat imagery data acquired from the GCF. Supervised maximum likelihood algorithm classification were deployed to classify land use/cover into four prominent land use groups and data’s were processed by using ERDAS imagine 2014 and ArcGIS10.1 software. In the basin dominant LULC was agricultural land use which accounts around 56.28% and the second largest is built-up area by 31.51% and the rest, forest(11.9%) and water body(0.31%) coverage were takes t...
