The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of some plants for Phytoremediation of soil contaminated with lead, zinc, cadmium and copper. To do this, four plant species of Achillea millefolium, Agropyron elongatum, Bouteloua dactyloides and Artemisia sieberi were cultivated and plant samples were irrigated with refinery wastewater. The results showed that in terms of plants, Bouteloua dactyloides, Artemisia sieberi and Achillea millefolium are good transfer of metals to their aerial parts which is suitable for plant extraction (the most important technique of Phytoremediation). Agropyron elongatum mostly accumulates copper and lead metals in the root. This is a proper feature of phytostabilization. Also the capability of these four plants species for Phytoremediation is as follows: Bouteloua dactyloides> of Achillea millefolium> Artemisia sieberi = Agropyron elongatum. Bouteloua dactyloides is proper for Phytoremediation of all heavy metals. For Bouteloua dactyloides, plant transfer factor (TF) in metals: zinc, copper, lead and cadmium is 1.17 and 1.9, 1.12 and 1.41, respectively, and bio concentration factor (BCF) for that in these metals are 1.77 and 1.22, 0.95 and 1.37, respectively. Since Bouteloua dactyloides has high tolerance to drought and high temperatures and is also suitable for lawn making, it is suggested that this type of species is used for Phytoremediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals in polluted areas as well as lawn making so that in addition to soil cleansing from heavy metals and being proper with native climates in many parts of Iran and having low irrigation requirements.

Estimation of suspended sediment basins of data and information is readily available but for basins without statistics, other methods require. The experimental method known as sediment rating curves or relationship "discharge sediment load" is provided. This study seeks to provide better separation of data and the preparation and suspended sediment curve refine hydrometric stations Maraveh Tape, Houtan, Qazanqayeh on the Atrak River in the Atrak watershed is located in Golestan province. To increase the accuracy of the classification scale monthly, quarterly, all samples, wet and dry periods and classifieds sediment discharge with frequency curve fitting techniques to fit a linear, linear fit by adjusting FAO, fitting combination (multi-line ), graphical approach (maximum concentration) and is fitted intermediate categories. For this purpose, statistical indicators were used to select the top. The results showed that sediment rating curve model by fitting a line to the correct application of FAO data Maraveh Tape station, method fitting a line dividing adjusted by applying FAO data on dry and wet period in the station Qazanqayeh and method Fitting a line segmentation classification data on discharges in Houtan Station Among the models tested with the least amount of mean square error and the predictability of the study is to estimate precipitation stations. Selected on the basis of the average amount of sediment suspended for watershed Atrak to Maraveh Tape station, Qazanqayeh and Houtan respectively 705, 683 and 781 Ton/Km2.day was estimated.

The morphology of a river system is affected by dominant watershed processes includingclimatic, hydrologic, hydraulic, erosion and sedimentation, geological and topographicalcharacteristics of the river environment and watershed. Understanding the interaction betweenthe river form and dominant watershed processes in river systems is necessary for recognitionof river behavior and of importance for developing river environments conceptual models.In this research the aim was to evaluate morphological characteristics caused by dominantwatershed processes in the Firoozeh-shahjoob river of north Khorasan and extract equations inorder to mathematically link between the river physical features and watershed processes. Forthis purpose, the HEC-RAS hydraulic model after doing sensitivity analysis and calibrationprocess was used to simulate the relation between dominant watershed processes and riverphysical factors for 37 reaches of this river. Considering the standard error, level of confidenceand coefficient of determination, compared to simple linear models, second order (quadratic)and third order (cubic) models, exponential models were the most suitable ones to extract themathematical relation between geometrical characteristics and the related dominant processesin this river system.
