  Background and Objective: Health is one of the issues with a great significance for all members of a society. People always try to protect themselves from harmful effects of pollution; hence, the averting behavior on their part. The present study has tried to estimate the net potable water pollution averting expenditures for citizens of Ahvaz.    Material and Methodology: ­A multinomial logit model was estimated where the water quality parameters (color, odor and taste) were introduced in order to account for both direct desirability and health retention-induced desirability at the same time. In this study, averting behaviors included buying mineral water bottles, commercial treated water containers, and mounting a domestic water treatment system. The respondents’ socioeconomic features were controlled. Awareness of the status quo or a person’s prior experience with tap water pollution was introduced as the perceived risk variable.   Findings: The results showed that the individuals’ willingness to [pay for tap water replacements were 1350, 1105, and 382 thousand Rials for mineral water, commercial treated water containers, and home water treatment systems, respectively. Additionally, it was found that expenses made for mineral and home- treated waters overestimated the averting costs. Figures obtained for annual net averting expenditures were 1890, 1548, and 534 billion Rials for mineral water, commercial treated water, and home- treated water, respectively. Summing up those three figures, the overall net averting expenditures were 3972 billion Rials which indicated the imposition of a huge cost on the society.  Discussion and Conclusion: The obtained figure can be used as a basis in cost-benefit analysis of water treatment plant improvement projects in Ahvaz, as well as payment of environmental subsidies.    Manuscript profile

  Mineral water and drinking water are one of thevital and immediate needs for human beings.Depending age and weather, everybody needsabout one to two liters. The origin of %80 ofhuman diseases are unavailability of healthywater.%75 percent of people in developingcountries are deprived of facilities for water.Actually , healthy water scarce and expensive.Pollutions descend quality of water by changingit physically, chemically and biologically.Someof the pollutions are decadence and can bedecreased easily, like human, animal andagricultural drainages.Some of the pollutionsare undecadence , like polop and Mercury, andplastices that we should reduce them in water.In this reseach two samples of mineral waterfound in northern Mahabad, west Azarbaigan,with hardness of 42 , 36 mg/l(CaCo3) areinvestigated. Then, different amount of Ozonegas is injection in to mineral water and biologicaland chemical changes probed.The used Ozonator can produce 25 mg Ozoneper hour.We used iodometry method in order todetermine amount of ozone gas . In injection of1.25 mg/l we have done complete removal ofdiatomaceae in sample (1) and up to 99 percentin sample (2). Both had complete removal ofchlorophyceae in 1.1 mg/l complete remove ofBOD5 sample 1 in 1.1 mg/l Ozone and sample 2in 1 mg / lit ozone are produced.We had 65 percent reduction of COD for injectionof 1.2 my Ozone for sample (1) and 68 percent forsample (2).Complete disinfection is done in both by 0.5 mgper liter.In this method agreeable water is achievedbecause no chemical is used and we don’t need toprovide chemical substance . So, we can introduceOzonetion the best method for water treatment . Manuscript profile

  Dalaki sulfur springs (Oba, Garuw and Rahdar), are hot sulfur springs in Bushehr province. The use of these hotwater and sulfur springs for agricultural and some diseases treatment by area residents has a long history. Originof these springs likely is mixing oil saline water of Asmari reservoir rock of Dalaki oil field with water sulphateGachsaran formation place ran out are springs. This saline water has mixed with spring's water by fault systemQatar-Kazeroun that strongly influence on region. For evaluate these springs Hydrochemical state (determinetype of water and identify the major elements and some trace elements) and its therapeutic potential in the 1389sampling of spring water were performed. Type of these springs water is Na-Cl. According to study conductedBalneology of these spring water can be effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, skin and hairrickets, and the nerves. These springs despite many health benefits, due to downstream water quality degradationand their pollution and their hydrogen sulfide have devastating environmental impacts also. Manuscript profile

  With the significant increase in bottled natural mineral water production and consumption over the last decade in our country, there has been a growing concern over the microbiological quality of such products. The purpose of the present study was to analyze various bottled natural mineral waters sold in Tabriz. In this study, 150 samples of such products were examined for aerobic colony count, coliforms, fecal coliforms, Escherichia coli, fecal streptococci, Clostridium perfringenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Aerobic colony count pseudomonas and clostridium were determined using membrane filtration method and most probable number (MPN) method was used for determining coliforms and fecal streptococci. The results indicated that in 25.3% of the samples there was no microbial growth in plate count agar media and 2% of the samples were contaminated with high levels of aerobic colony count (more than 20 bacteria/ ml). Furthermore, of the 72.6% of samples with acceptable aerobic colony count, 2.75%, 1.83%, 2.75% and 0.91% were contaminated with coliforms, fecal streptococci, pseudomonas and clostridium respectively.

  One of the oldest forms of health tourism is spa tourism (the branch of health tourism) which means health by water. in ancient time people used to travel to hot or cold springs in hope of effecting cure for some illness. Even in modern times the therapeutic property of water is being used to treat various health disorders. This type of tourism activity due to such factors include the health and welfare and especially the economic benefits and job creation has been noticed by countries. Sarein in northwest of Iran also is such area having lots of potentials (especially in context of hydrothermal water) to developing Spa tourism. The aim of this study is to evaluate the capacity of Spa tourism and the developing strategies for this branch of tourism in Sarein. This city due to different climate and lots of mineral water and springs having favorable conditions to develop of health tourism.The data and information has in this article gathered by documentary and equationary methods. In this research analytical models and QSPM strategic planning techniques have been used to answer the questions and prioritize strategies. Samples determined by using Morgan table. The volume of samples is 80 including 40 tourists and arrivals and easer 40 person in local communities.The results of this research shows that advertising, developing of residential and accommodation infrastructures and services especially by corporate of private sectors, improving communication and transportation system and attracting foreign investment are such emergency strategies to developing health tourism in sarein.
