  • Naghan (Chahar Mahal Bakhtiari-High Zagros, Iran) Earthquake of 6 April 1977
    Naghan (Chahar Mahal Bakhtiari-High Zagros, Iran) Earthquake of 6 april 1977. A preliminary field report and a seismotectonic discussion M. BERBERIAN - I. NAVAI Received on December 19th, 1977 ABSTRACT The Naghan earthquake of magnitude 6 (Ms) occurred on 6 April 1977 in the mountanious area of Chahar Mahal Bakhtiari in the High Zagros, south of Shahr-e-Kord. It killed 348 people, injured about 200, and caused destruction over an area of 150 Km2. The shock damaged beyond repair 2,100 houses and killed 0.7°/o of livestock in the area; eight schools collapsed and 37 were damaged. The maximum intensity ot' the main shock did not exceed VIII (MM). The earthquake was associated neither with any fresh surface fault- ing, nor with reactivation of the existing faults and salt domes at surface. Heavy rain fell before and during the earthquake and the destruction was more extensive where the saturated clay content of the alluvium was higher; it was also more extensive in water-logged areas or the areas with a shallower water table. Landslides occurred on steep slopes and destroyed or damaged some villages built on slopes. Several aftershocks caused additional damage to the already destroyed or damaged villages. The Naghan earthquake was another instance of the « subsedimentary Zagros-Type Earthquake » in the High Zagros part of the Zagros Active 6 M. BERBERIAN - I.

This was due to the presence of the Upper Precambrian Hormoz layers (Salt deposits) acting as a slippage zone along the decollement surface of the Zagros at depth.

The ant fauna from the Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari Province of Iran was surveyed. As a result, a total of 28 ant species belonging to 11 genera of Formicidae were collected and identified. Species status is proposed for Messor barbarus subsp. mediosanguineus DONISTHORPE, 1946, the species status of Messor platyceras CRAWLEY, 1920 is restored with Messor platyceras var. rubella CRAWLEY, 1920 as a new synonym of the nominotypical form, and Camponotus oasium ninivae PISARSKI, 1971 is removed from synonyms of Camponotus oasium FOREL, 1890. The genera Messor FOREL, 1890, with seven species and Cataglyphis FÖRSTER, 1850 with six species, have the highest species richness. Messor mediosanguineus DONISTHORPE, 1946, Pheidole koshewnikovi RUZSKY, 1905 and Camponotus oasium ninivae PISARSKI, 1971 were recorded in Iran for the first time.

Layers of earth are calcareous in the watershed. Assessment of water quality has been carried out to determine the sources of dissolved ions in groundwater. Groundwater is an important water resource in the study area; these resources are under threat of pollution from human activities. The quality 2+ 2+ + + -2 2- - assessment is made through the estimation of Ca , Mg , Na , K , Cl-, SO4 , CO3 , HCO3 , and total hardness as CaCO3, EC, and pH. Based on these analyses, parameters like sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), percent sodium (%Na), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), potential salinity, and permeability index (PI) were calculated. Groundwater quality, forecasting water quality in response to groundwater recharge, discharge with another sources and cited calcareous geological region (through (to pass) from the sediment and dissolution of water soluble minerals), Groundwater quality assessment indicated that water is suitable for irrigation purpose as per FAO standards except higher value of Electrical Conductivity (EC) in some area. Water for drinking purpose was found to be good as per WHO (1982) standards except for high values of water hardness.

Additionally, the description of the deutonymph is provided. This is the first report of this species from lotic waters. Key words: Hydrachnidia, lotic and lentic waters; Prostigmata; Rivobates; water mites. Introduction Species richness of family Hygrobatidae Koch is highest in water mite fauna of Iran (Pešić and Saboori 2007; Pešić et al. 2014). From this family, 37 species have been reported so far, which belong to three genera: Atractides Koch (26 species), Hygrobates Koch (10 species), and Iranobates Pešić, Smit and Asadi (one species) (Pešić and Saboori 2007; Pešić et al. 2014). The subgenus Rivobates Thor is characterized by the numerous pairs (more than three) of acetabula (Cook 1974). The only representative of this subgenus in water mite fauna of Iran is Hygrobates quanticola that is a little documented species and reported only from Iran and Turkey (Esen et al. 2013). In this work, we redescribe the species from new materials collected from a pond in the Gandoman Wetland and also a roaring river in the Cheshme Ali village in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province of Iran.

The aim of this study is the comprehensive planning for integrated management of solid waste at the industrial parks. The share of each industrial group including food, metal, chemical, non-metallic minerals, textile, electrical and electronical, and cellulose industries were 48.2, 14.9, 6.7, 22, 0.9, 0.6, and 6.5 percent, respectively. The results showed that nearly half of total industrial waste produced from the range of biological materials are biodegradable and discharging them without observing environmental regulations leads to short-term pollution and nuisance in the acceptor environment. Also some parts of case study waste were recyclable which is considerable from viewpoint of economical and environmental pollution.
