Abstract :
Hadish watercourse located in the in south of Iran, is a seasonal channel of water
which crosses through Bandar Abbas to reach to the Persian Gulf. This
watercourse is faced with numerous environmental problems in regard with the
pollution entrance. Huge amount of the urban and industrial sewages of the city
are discharged into this watercourse. In this investigation, considering the
discharge of 1.36 m3/s into this watercourse, according to the literatures, the
procedure of emission of pollution in the area was modeled. For this purpose
Delft3D software has been employed. The model has been calibrated and
evaluated considering water level data from Rajaee Port. It was found that, the
pollution mainly remains inside the watercourse which is due to the ebb
dominance nature of the channel. The results of this research show that the
discharging the sewage into this channel endangers not only the western coast
of Bandar Abbas, but the health of the citizens.
