Isfahan University of Technology (IUT)
Eawag has long standing working relations with the College of Agriculture of Isfahan
University of Technology (IUT) in Iran.
In the past we have collaborated in many projects, including:
- Cation exchange capacity of arid soils [1]
- Mapping risk of cadmium and lead [2]
- Modelling cadmium variability [3]
- Modelling runoff and erosion using SWAT [4]
- Estimation of field capacity and wilting point for arid soils of central Iran from basic soil physical and chemical properties [5]
- Spatial and temporal variations of nitrate concentration in the groundwaters of Isfahan province, central Iran
- Temporal and spatial variability of soil moisture in Iran
- Assessment of regional water endowments, water constraints to food production, and implications for virtual water trade in Iran
- Hydrologic and water quality modeling of Zayandehrud Watershed
- Transport of cadmium, zinc, copper, and lead in a sewage sludge amended calcareous soil
- Estimating soil shear strength, saturated hydraulic conductivity and infiltration using pedotransfer function and artificial neural network
