Authors:Milad Jajarmizadeh, Lariyah Mohd Sidek, Sobri Harun, Mohsen Salarpour Abstract: One of the major issues for semidistributed models is calibration of sensitive parameters. This study compared 3 scenarios for Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model for calibration and uncertainty. Roodan watershed has been selected for simulation of daily flow in southern part of Iran with an area of 10 570 km2. After preparation of required data and implementation of the SWAT model ...

Authors:Niharranjan Mishra, Nabanita Das Abstract: Despite government’s repeated assertions for the sustainable mining extraction and development of rural and tribal communities living near the vicinity of mining areas, these have not been converted into implementable solutions. The natural resources from rural and tribal areas are being exploited to meet the ever-increasing requirements and aspirations of the affluent groups. With the above ...

Authors:Biman Gati Gupta, Jayanta Kumar Biswas, Krishna M Agrawal Abstract: Hazardous bleaching and dyeing units are rapidly increasing in developing countries due to growing global demand of textile products. The aim of the study is to assess long-term respiratory effect of air pollution generated from textile bleaching and dyeing industries on the residents living in such industrial setting. Such types of long-term (2012-2016) studies have been conducted first time ...

Authors:Patricia Barreto, Santiago Dogliotti, Carlos Perdomo Abstract: The Santa Lucia River basin provides drinking water to 60% of Uruguay population. The input of excessive amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus both from point and nonpoint sources could impair surface water quality and prevent its use for human consumption. The objective of this work was to evaluate surface water quality in small catchments under agricultural use located within this river basin. ...

Authors:Aaron A Jennings, Zijian Li Abstract: Regulatory agencies worldwide have developed regulatory guidance values (RGVs) for nearly 800 pesticides. Analysis of the residential surface soil guidance values applied to the most frequently regulated current-use agriculture, home, and garden pesticides is presented. Part I concentrates on values applied to atrazine, simazine, and trifluralin. These are unique among commonly used pesticides ...

Authors:Aaron A Jennings, Zijian Li Abstract: Surface soil regulatory guidance values (RGVs) are available worldwide for nearly 800 pesticides. Part I of this study examined values applied to commonly used carcinogenic pesticides. Part II examines RGVs applied to 12 commonly used noncarcinogenic pesticides: 2,4-D, carbaryl, carbofuran, chlorpyrifos, diazinon, dicamba, diuron, glyphosate, malathion, MCPA, metolachlor, and picloram. The RGV ... Citation: Air, Soil and Water Research 2017:10 1178622117711931 PubDate: 2017-06-06T00:00:00-05:00 DOI: 10.4137/ASWR.S40667 Issue No:Vol. 2017, No. 1 (2017)
Authors:Longlei Li, Irina N Sokolik Abstract: Airborne mineral dust is thought to have a significant influence on the climate through absorbing and scattering both shortwave and longwave radiations and affecting cloud microphysical processes. However, a knowledge of long-term dust emissions is limited from both temporal and spatial perspectives. Here, we have developed a quantitative climatology: the column-integrated mass of the dust aer ...
