Abstract: The study assessed in comparison the concentrations of heavy metals in water samples (n=12) collected from groundwater sources at Keko and Kigogo areas. Three trace elements; Copper, Zinc and Lead (Cu, Zn and Pb). Analysis was done once in dry season and once in rainy season at Ardhi University laboratory. The water samples were taken in 4oc equipm... Show More

Abstract: Most global ocean models are based on the assumption of a “steady state” ocean. Here, we investigate the validation of this hypothesis for the anthropized Mediterranean Sea. In order to do so, we calculated the mixing coefficients of the water masses detected in this sea via an optimum multiparameter analysis referred to as the MIX approach, using ... Show More

Abstract: Access to ground water is a human right, yet more than 80% people of Ethiopia, especially in rural areas, rely on unimproved sources and the need for finding ways of treating water is crucial. Although the use of natural biosorption coagulant agricultural waste product in drinking water treatment has been discussed for a long time, the method is st... Show More

Abstract: Measurements of the CO2 system parameters in the Mediterranean Sea are relatively scarce and not representative for all its sub-basins. High quality data collected on May 2013 during the 2013 MedSeA cruise covering the whole basin were used to provide for the first time linear relationships estimating the total alkalinity (AT) and the total dissolv...
