Waco Lake (Texas, U.S.A.) is a municipal water supply fed by largely agricultural watersheds and is characterized by poor water quality because of elevated nutrient concentrations. Watershed modeling is used to prioritize management options to reduce nutrient loading into the reservoir. A natural (pre-agricultural) system scenario of the dominant watershed resulted in 80% reduction of total phosphorus...
Competition for water has intensified. Determining when, and how much, water needs to be left for in-river values is a challenge world-wide. In New Zealand there is now a well established connection between the flow regime, as defined by the magnitude and variability of flows, and suitability for in-river values. Physical habitat requirements of the biota have been defined and related to overall flow...
We report herein the first description of the physical structure of the aquatic habitats of the Lower Paraguay River along 390 km from Asunción city (Paraguay) to the confluence with the Paraná River. The hierarchical ordination of the Fluvial Hydrosystem Approach (FHA) allowed us to classify the Lower Paraguay as a meandering functional sector where five functional sets were identified: (a) main...
The Paraguay River is the main tributary of the Paraná River hydrosystem. Despite several studies resulting from the proposed navigation project known as the Hidrovía Paraguay-Paraná, little is known about the physical structure of their aquatic environments and its biota. The main purpose of this work is the knowledge of the primary factors which form the structure of the physical habitats in this...
Hydrological and hydrochemical analyses in the Jaroszówka river basin were carried out in hydrological year 2003. The quality of the Jaroszówka water is characterized by the lowest level of transformation of physical and chemical composition among the Białystok rivers. Specific pollution load, which was discharged from the catchment to the Jaroszówka riverbed was much smaller than the load discharged...
The 96 h LC50 values of copper for Carassius auratus and Xiphophorus helleri were 0.30 and 0.36 ppm. Sublethal concentrations of copper affected specific growth rate and reproductive performance in both species. Metal accumulation in muscle and gonad tissues was linearly increased with increase in sublethal levels of copper and exposure period. Young ones accumulated same or more amount of metal found...
The effects of hydrogels on the soil water retention characteristic curve (WRC) and on the growth indices of Ligusrum ovalifolium (an ornamental plant dominating in the landscape of central Iran) were studied. Various amounts of hydrogels (Suprab A200) were added to soil samples having different percentage of water proportional to potential evapotranspiration data. A factorial experiment was used...
