Transfer of Technical Knowledge from Dust Control in Khuzestan Province for Elimination of Hamoon Jazmoorian Wetland Challenges

摘要

Hamoon Jazmoorian wetland, which is positioned at the border of Kerman and Sistan-Baluchistan provinces in Iran, consists of three major types of soils including argillaceous silt, swampy types and various clay and sand layers. Given this information and some valuable experience earned in 2-3 years from research on 14 dust focal centres of Khuzestan province, the dust polluted sky of the province and its borders with neighbouring countries, it was attempted to repress the dried Jazmoorian wetland. Hamoon Jazmoorian wetland and the dust regions similar in terms of soil type in Khuzestan such as Hendijan Hur, Saheb Abad of Gharganeh, Dehno in Hendijan, north Azadegan field in Hoveyzeh wetland of Hour-al-Azim and Ashareh-ye Omidiyeh can be converted to alive, healthy and fruitful soil instead of dead, withered and sere ones. In this study, some healthy and eco-friendly water-based green biological fluid formulations have been prepared for single soils and simulated mixture of the Jazmoorian wetland. Stability tests, mechanical and ecological stabilization of soil-fluid using wind tunnel with 90-100 km/h velocity and also planting vegetable seeds have been completely carried out in lab scale. The performance of biological fluids (green mulch) were very successful. The results of this work can be further developed to industrial and pilot plant scales. All the materials in green biological fluids are very safe and healthy for humans and the environment, without any toxic substance.
