An assessment of the Iranian Chironomidae diversity with an updated checklist is provided. In total, 65 species from 12 out of 31 provinces of Iran are recorded. Based on the distributional data obtained for these species, much of the biodiversity of this country is unknown, especially for central, south, and eastern regions. The most studied area...
We assessed the Chironomidae fauna of Qeshlagh River, the second largest running water in the Kurdistan Province of Iran, and a major tributary of Sirwan River, using molecular and morphological methods. We identified a total of 35 Chironomidae species from the Qeshlagh River. Of these, Eraniella kurdistanensis gen. n., sp. n. (Orthocladiinae), Cri...
Ongoing investigation into Chironomidae specimens collected from the Sirwan River watershed in 2020 resulted in two new faunistic records for Iran, and new range extensions for the Palearctic region. Two species, Paramerina divisa (Walker, 1856) and Xenochironomus xenolabis (Kieffer, 1916) are diagnosed and reported for the first time from Iran. Th...

Urmia Lake is a large hypersaline lake situated at north-west of Iran, 21 km from Urmia
city. The salinity of Urmia Lake has increased tremendously since 1998 and reached to
about 350 ppt in 2008-2009. It was reported by Agh and Noori (1987) that Artemia urmiana
hatches best at 30-35 ppt salinity. Therefore it seems that one of the main reasons for...
Questions
Question (1)
Water treatment plant systems (WTPS) to supply water need to amount of water inlet. Based on this, the beat water resources to supply is the Lake or Reservoir. Sometimes in spring and summer after increase of water temperature and nutrient Harmful Algae Bloom occurs and high volume of algae inter to the WTPS and cussed to taste and odor and sometimes toxins in drinking water.
