According to the economic and industrial growth and the production of different kinds of compounds and chemical materials which provided by human for their welfare using natural resources and in this direction , they came undesirably materials such as toxic and heavy metals into nature which result in serious risks and problems for both them and their surrounding environment. The research area of this, study is the city of Khorramabad that is located in west of Iran, central of Lorestan province; In this study, in order to determine the quality of drinking water of studied area, 23 fountains and wells circles related with heavy elements including (chrome, molybdenum, copper, zinc, barium, cobalt, aluminum, lead, cadmium, nickel) during three years (2011-2013) was used. In order to determine the rate of minimum and maximum concentration of elements among studied area’s fountains and wells, Excel software was used. Then, in the software of geographic information system (GIS), The map interpolation method of each heavy elements in each supplier resources of drinking water has produced and amount of each element and parameter and stated amounts by Iran national organization, world Health organization (WHO), America’s environment organization (EPA) have been compared and the rate of pollution of each water resource should be determined. With respect to present data or information, the rate of maximum and minimum of heavy pollutions and elements in each of studied water resources determined. the results showed that the concentration mean of chrome, molybdenum, copper, zinc, cobalt, lead, cadmium and nickel is lower than national standards level, world health organization (WHO) and America’s standard (EPA), but in Motahari’s fountain, the rate of chrome heavy metal is higher than standard level (WHO). The mean of barium element concentration in resources was lower than national standard level and was higher than standard level (WHO) and (EPA) standard in all resources. The concentration of aluminum element is lower than national standard and is higher than standard level (EPA).

Variations in route and morphology of the rivers are among the important characteristics of floodplains. Since these variations occur within time scale, it is appropriate to study those using remote sensing techniques. This study aims to identify and extract part of Zarineh Rud river variation from 1989 to 2014 using landsat satellite images. To gain this objective, radiometric and geometric modifications have been carried out in the first phase. Afterward, the images have been developed by linear method for enhancing the resolution. Then, by principal component analysis and band combination, the best component and band were determined. By adding these components and bands to ArcGIS, the river range within the mentioned time span was extracted and analyzed. Furthermore, for quantitative analysis of the river route variation, curvature coefficient and Fereaktaly dimension indices were used to compare the different years. It was found that there is a low potential in river to have morphologic variations in different parts. This is due to the fact that there has been a negligible change in river flow rate since 2000. The highest variation is observed in 1989. Instability of the river route during the studied time span was very low, except for one of the river’s twists from the 1989 pattern. The results of river extraction methods also confirmed that principal component analysis for identifying the border line of the river is more appropriate than the other methods.
