        2 - Comparative Evaluation of NSFWQI and IRWQISC Indicators in River Quality Assessment
        Alireza Shokoohi Omid Bahmani
        This study aimed to evaluate and compare the two water quality indicators NSFWQI and IRWQIsc on the rivers of the five basins of Khuzestan, namely Karun, Karkheh, Dez, Marun-Jarahi, and Zohreh-Hindijan using data recorded in the years of 1390 to 1396. This study shows t More
        This study aimed to evaluate and compare the two water quality indicators NSFWQI and IRWQIsc on the rivers of the five basins of Khuzestan, namely Karun, Karkheh, Dez, Marun-Jarahi, and Zohreh-Hindijan using data recorded in the years of 1390 to 1396. This study shows the differences between the two methods as well as the validation of the water quality index developed in Iran. While according to the NSFWQI index, the rivers of the region are in average condition in terms of quality and there is no particular problem except for points on the Karun River, there is no particular problem; the IRWQIsc index evaluates the status of surface water quality in the province as moderate to poor. Examining the differences between the two indices, it was concluded that the use of the electrical conductivity parameter in the IRWQIsc index has led to the detection of bad areas in terms of quality. The NSFWQI index has been successful in identifying points of high pollution around Ahvaz, while the IRWQIsc index has been successful in identifying points of high salinity on the Zohreh and Jarahi rivers. In determining the spatial distribution of the indicators, three methods were used: spline, kriging, and inverse distance weighting method, which based on the evaluation of the results, the last one was selected.

        Environmental education can be called a new discipline by which human being can continue his living by nature better. In this discipline, principal, values, personal responsibility, professional even behavior customs should move in according to nature and develop. In order to establish this educational and intellectual system, the current investigation attempts to analyze and assess the environment’s educational needs of students in Khouzestan province. This study is an applied and descriptive type of survey and from the study method perspective has employed a synthetic need assessment model. Sampling population consisted of the girl and boy students of secondary schools and high schools of Khuzestan province, in academic year 1386-1387(2007-2008). Sample of investigation consisted of 1067 students which selected through cluster sampling from Ahvaz, Behbahan, Masjed Soleiman, and Bandar-e-Emam cities. The questionnaire for gathering information was prepared based on experts’ opinions in environmental education and has had considerable validity and reliability. The research data analysis was done whit the help of descriptive statistic, including various distribution tables, mean and standard deviation as well as inferential statistic F test , chi-square test, Analysis Of Variance,correlation coefficient, Duncan test, and factor analysis. Some of the findings of the research are as follows: 1)The textbooks’ contents do not provide the students with adequate information and stimulant about the student’s living environment. 2) School teachers in Khouzestan don’t supply the students with information and stimulant in accordance with the area’s environment. 3) Extracurricular and side activities related to environment are rare in Khouzestan province’s schools, and the students lack enough information and stimulant about their living environment and surroundings. 4) Extracurricular activities proved more effect in stimulating the students to environment and their knowledge than the two other variables: textbooks’ content and teachers.

        رودخانه‌ها به عنوان یکی از منابع اساسی تأمین آب برای مصارف گوناگون از جمله کشاورزی، شرب و صنعت مطرح می‌باشند. از این‌رو پایش کیفیت این منابع با توجه به خشکسالی‌های اخیر و توسعه شهری و روستایی یکی از وظایف مهم در حیطه مدیریت محیط زیست محسوب‌ می‌گردد. در این مطالعه نمونه‌گیری به صورت فصلی از نه ایستگاه رودخانه‌های کارون، دز و کرخه در یک بازه زمانی یکساله از مهر ماه 1389 تا شهریور ماه1390مصادف با فصول گرم و سرد انجام گردید. پارامترهائی نظیر درجه حرارت، هدایت الکتریکی، اکسیژن محلول، pH، کدورت، BOD و COD به همراه غلظت آنیون‌ها و کاتیون‌ها اصلی و پارامترهای میکروبی اندازه‌گیری گردید. داده‌های حاصل از مطالعه با استفاده از شاخص ملی کیفیت NSFWQI، کمیسیون کنترل آلودگی هند، نسبت یونی و شاخص ویلکاکس مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفت. آنالیز پارامترهای اندازه گیری شده با توجه به شاخص NSFWQI حاکی از آن است که در هر سه رودخانه شاخص کیفیت کل در شش ماهه اول کمتر از 50 و بیانگر کیفیت بد می‌باشد. همچنین در شش ماهه دوم بیشتر از 50 و بیانگر کیفیت متوسط می‌باشد. طبقه بندی و تعیین کیفیت آب رودخانه با توجه به استاندارد کمیسیون مرکزی کنترل آلودگی هند نیز تقریباً با نتایج حاصل از روش NSFWQI همخوانی دارد. همچنین نتایج نسبت یونی نشان داد حداکثر غلظت مربوط به یون‌های کاتیون سدیم- منیزیم و حداقل غلظت مربوط به یون آنیون کلر می‌باشد. با توجه به رده‌بندی صورت گرفته بر‌اساس شاخص ویلکاکس، نتیجه حاصله، مطلوب بودن آب مذکور جهت آبیاری در صورت مدیریت کنترل شوری و استفاده از زهکشی مناسب زمین می‌باشد.

        Since World War II various theories have been planned and executed in the field of regional development. But no theory has been most effective than the theory of Growth Pole especially in the developing countries. Growth pole theory was chosen as a main strategy to achieve development in most developing countries such as Iran, from 1960. Khouzestan province, where its capital is Ahvaz, is among the areas in which the growth pole policies were applied. Ahvaz was regarded as a pole of development in various ways during the periods before and after the revolution. Due to the importance of this subject, this study aims to investigate the theory of growth pole in Khuzestan using the effect of distance from the capital on the development of Khuzestan's cities. The present study is practical and analytical in nature in which the descriptive method research was employed. The library method was applied for gathering data and library documents, statistical yearbooks and various is located on the first level of development. Regional distribution of development in the Khouzetan's cities is also associated with the distance from the capital (i.e. Ahvaz). The cities which have greater distance from the Ahvaz have been further developed. Manuscript profile
