Abstract: Sediments grain size analysis was carried out on 60 sediment samples collected from 10 different locations within the Qua Ibo River /Estuary bank in Southeastern Nigeria, in order to infer the source contribution of these sediments. The different grain sizestatistical parameters of Mean grained Size (Mz), Sorting (ο³ 1), Skewness(SKI) and Kurtosis (KG) wereevaluated and recorded. The mean grained size ranges from 1.60π to 2.73πwith an average value of 2.06π inferring medium to fine sand, standard deviation (sorting) has a mean value of 0.58π and ranges from 0.38π -0.79πwhich is well to moderat e y well ............
Key words:Sediment grain size, Qua Ibo River /Estuary bank, source, statistical parameters, discriminant functions.

| Title | : | Quality Implications of Some Domestic Water Supply Sources In Parts Of Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria. |
| Country | : | Nigeria |

Abstract: Sources of domestic water supplies in parts of UmuahiaSouth Local Government Area (Old Umuahia), AbiaState , Nigeria were investigated. The area has apopulation of about 8000 people mainly farmers and civil servants living essentially in a rural setting that lacks modern facilities including modern water supply facilities. The inhabitants derive their daily water supply from streams, springs, boreholes, rain water harvesting and also from commercial water vendors using motorized or manual trucks. Incidents of outbreak of water borne diseases such as typhoid fever, dysentery and diarrhoea have been reported in the area. This sparked off curiosity on the quality of water delivered by the various sources of water supply in the area.The methods employed in the study are field investigation/sampling and laboratory analysis ............

| Title | : | Mapping the Surface Changes in the Area of East Port-Said, Egypt Using Multi-Temporal and Multi-Sensors Remote Sensing Data |
| Country | : | Egypt |
| Authors | : | Ahmed Gaber || Mohamed H. Geriesh || Shams El-Din Shaheen || Mohamed A.El-Fattah |
Abstract: The area of East Port-Said is recently regarded as one of the most important Egyptian potential area that helps improving the Egyptian's national income. The area is considered as one of the Egyptian good areas for reclamation, and ready to grow as a new one-million citizen-city with full life necessities. East Port-Said area now includes a famous harbour for containers and transit-trade. However, many industrial, agricultural and touristic projects are strongly aimed to be initiated and established in such city............
