Abstract Box-Jenkins and exponential smoothing time series analysis of the monthly water quality in surface water in Tehran was conducted as a case study. Various univariate models were developed for each determinand. Most of the models were seasonal, indicating that the water quality determinands vary throughout the year. The models follow the same pattern of variations present in the data. This study shows the credibility of the models, therefore the models may be used for future design purposes.

Abstract. A method for examining the impacts of disturbance on stream water quality based on paired catchment "control" and "response" water quality time series is described in relation to diagrams of cumulative flux and cumulative flux difference. The paper describes the equations used and illustrates the patterns expected for idealised flux changes followed by an application to stream water quality data for a spruce forested catchment, the Hore, subjected to clear fell. The water quality determinands examined are sodium, chloride, nitrate, calcium and acid neutralisation capacity. The anticipated effects of felling are shown in relation to reduction in mist capture and nitrate release with felling as well as to the influence of weathering and cation exchange mechanisms, but in a much clearer way than observed previously using other approaches. Keywords: Plynlimon, stream, Hore, acid neutralisation capacity, calcium, chloride, nitrate, sodium, cumulative flux, flux

This paper discusses raw water quality results for the raw water from Bospoort dam in South Africa. A time series analysis was conducted for various parameters over a prolonged period of time. It was revealed that apart from conductivity, hardness, and high coliform counts, most parameters were below their recommended threshold levels for the greatest part of the study period.
