Data on quality indices of groundwater resource for agricultural use in the Jolfa, East Azerbaijan, Iran

The aim of this study was to evaluate the groundwater quality Indices of Groundwater resource for Agricultural Use in jolfa city (Iran) during one decade (2003–2013). Data showed in the first and end year of the study period, the Mean±SD of Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) and Sodium Percentage (Na%) indices 5455.77±3878.02, 3638.69±3565.19 and 51.49±15.65, 41.58±17.69, respectively. The data indicate that the, in terms of sodium percentage and sodium adsorption ratio, the water quality in this area is not suitable for irrigation.

Performance of UV/H2O2 Advanced Oxidation Process in Decolorization of Acid Green 3 from Aqueous Solutions

n Background: Due to their polycyclic and toxic structure, dyes have a high ability in causing adverse acute and chronic effects on human exposed to them. In present study, the decolorization of acid green3 from aqueous solution by UV/ H2O2 method was investigated Methods: This is an applied-experimental study. Parameters of pH in the amount of 3,7 and 11, contact time in 5,15, 30, 45 and 60 min, dose of H2O2 in 10, 30 and 50 mg/l and initial concentration of acid green3 in 50, 100 and 150 mg/l were examined to reveal the optimum amounts of these parameters. In order to emit the UV radiation, photo reactor with a 2-lit volume was applied, also to measure remaining concentration of dye, spectrophotometer device, model DR 5000 was employed. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) test based on 5220C method (standard method book) was used for determining amount of oxidation. Results: Results showed that contact time = 60 min, pH=7, acid green concentration=50 mg/l and dose of H2O2 =30 mg/l are optimum condition at which the removal amounts of dye and COD were obtained about 97 and 85, respectively.n Conclusion: In the study, it is observed that parameters of contact time, pH, initial concentration of dye, and dose of H2O2 have a significant influence on the removal of the dye by UV/H2O2 process. Due to acceptable results of UV/H2O2 in the oxidation of the dye and the reduction of COD, this method can be introduced as reliable process to remove of acid green 3 from industrial wastewaters.

Microbiological dataset of rural drinking water supplies in Zahedan, Iran

The residual chlorine and microbial quality of drinking water in the Zahedan villages by a number of1221 samples from all 168 villages were collected between 2014–2015. Then the samples were evaluated using 9-tube fermentation methods and portable chlorine method test. Based on the microbial coliform and fecal coliform indices, the data indicated that the maximum and minimum controlling of the bacteria in the distribution network were in the winter (90.62%) and autumn (85.56%), respectively. Also in the reservoirs, the maximum and minimum controlling of the bacteria were in winter (93.49%) and autumn (87.35%), respectively. The residual chlorine was prepared in almost all of seasons.

Dataset on assessment of physical and chemical quality of groundwater in rural drinking water, west Azerbaijan Province in Iran

Analyzing the quality of drinking water and comparing it with standards, provides useful information regarding in the state of water supply and health protection to consumers. In the current research, the quality of drinking water in the cities of West Azerbaijan province has been investigated. In the current study, the results of drinking water analysis in 17 counties of West Azerbaijan province (except Urmia city), including 355 analyzes were conducted in 2016. The results were analyzed by SPSS software and compared with the national standard. Based on the analysis, the hardness of drinking water in the West Azerbaijan province ranged from 22 to 912 mg/L as calcium carbonate, and the average of the experiment was measured to be 136 ± 327 mg/L as calcium carbonate. The TDS values in this study were 39–1710 mg/L, and on average 397.7 ± 265.8 mg/L. Also, based on the analyzes performed in this study, the Fluoride concentration was from 0 to 3.45 mg/L, and on average 323.376 ± 0.05 mg/L and the Nitrate concentration was 0–218 mg/L and on average 3.58 ± 1.1 mg/L.
