Classification of Water Quality of Gharasoo River for different uses in the wet and dry years
Journal Title: Journal of River Engineering - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The rivers are one of the main sources of water supply for different usage like agriculture, domestic and industrial. Therefore, according to the recent droughts in the country and also urban and rural development it is important to conserve these resources. Drought can have dramatic effects on water quality by reducing the quantity of river flow. In this study, the quality of Gharesoo river water in 1994-1995(wet year) and 2007-2008(dry year) in station selected by the Chemistry and AqQA software’s was investigated and the results showed the water quality in the dry year has been lower than in wet year. According to Schuler chart quality is good for both stations and note the Wilcox diagram with two stations in both wet and dry periods of the year will be in class C2S1. Due to the close relationship between river flow and water quality, it could be concluded that water quality is vulnerable to reductions in flow. It is suggested, therefore, that water management policies design to alleviate the effects of drought on Gharasoo basin and its irrigation network.
