The quality of wastewater and the socioeconomic aspects of the life of the population are shown to be interrelated. It is proposed to use municipal wastewater to diagnose the health of the population, to assess the feeding preferences of city dwellers, the use of alcohol, tobacco, medicines, and drugs, to assess the exposure of the population to th...

Resilience is a significant uncertainty thought of water resources system security. Compared with risk analysis, resilience pays more attention to the ability of water resources system itself to deal with adverse events. However, a standard system of water resources system resilience’s concept and evaluation have not yet formed. In view of this, th...

The results of studying present-day oil product concentrations in water of Baikal and its tributaries are given. The highest concentrations of oil products have been identified in the Southern Baikal. Seasonal and year-to-year dynamics of oil product concentrations in lake tributaries was determined. The level of water pollution by hydrocarbons was...

AbstractIn mining areas, coal production, agriculture, and drinking use had increased the demand for fresh groundwater. It was essential to obtain a deeper understanding of the groundwater evolution processes and the water quality for domestic and irrigation uses in Sulin mining area in the northern Anhui province, China. Thirty-two shallow groundw...

AbstractTo water quality management of the Gotvand Reservoir, this paper attempts to determine to what extent the negative impacts of Anbar salt domes dissolution can be reduced considering releasing water from different levels of the dam reservoir. In this respect, the required field data at Gotvand Reservoir site were collected and hydrodynamic s...

AbstractThe article considers an estimate of the effect of positive feedback in the mechanism of level oscillations in the Caspian Sea on the long-term level regime. The study was based on a modified dynamic-stochastic model of level variations, taking into account the spatial heterogeneity of evaporation from sea water area. The evaporation from C...

AbstractUnderstanding the flow dynamics around the hydraulic structure caused by complex junction flow is still a major challenge. In order to gain a better insight of impact of junction flow and its interaction with structures like circular pier, numerical tests were conducted at 45° and 90° channel confluences with a discordance bed under differe...

AbstractAnalysis of the modern geographic distribution of species of a specific fossil flora makes it possible to identify its closest modern region-analogue. Using the paleofloristic method, the modern region-analogues were determined for 22 radiocarbon-dated fossil floras. According to modern conditions within the centres of present concentration...

AbstractGiven the various altitudes of the Vakhsh River Basin (VRB) in Central Asia, global warming has significant implications for water resources and environmental changes as most snow surfaces and glaciers are situated above 3000 m above sea level in the catchment. The aim of this study is to use observational climate data to evaluate the respo...

AbstractA quantitative estimate is given to the hypothesis, explaining the paleogeographic data on the extremely high water abundance in rivers in the Caspian Basin in the period when the Late Khvalynian Transgression was forming, by postglacial permafrost in this basin, which could contribute to a decrease of soil infiltration and evapotranspirati...
