يزداد النشاط الاقتصادي و الضغط الديموغرافي في محافظة طرطوس، في الوقت الذي تعاني فيه بعض قراها من شح مياه الشرب، مما يجعل ترشيد استهلاك المياه مسألة ملحة. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى التعرف على أنماط و ممارسات استهلاك المياه المنزلية لدى عينة من مشتركي المياه المنزلية في محافظة طرطوس لتحديد الإجراءات التي يمكن من خلالها ترشيد استهلاك مياه الشرب. أجري لهذا الغرض استبيان شمل 150 فرداً من المشتركين بالمياه، حيث وزعت على كلٍ منهم استمارة تضمنت 20 سؤالاً، ثم أخضعت الإجابات لتحليل أحصائي. أشارت النتائج إلى وجود نسبة مرتفعة (95.3 %) من المبحوثين يتبعون إجراءات لترشيد استهلاك المياه، و انخفاض نسبة الذين يملكون تجهيزات تحد من استهلاك المياه (4.7 %). و قد عارض غالبية الذين شملهم الاستبيان (87.3%) اللجوء إلى زيادة سعر الماء كإجراء للحد من استهلاك المياه. خلصت الدراسة إلى وجود وعي مائي جيد لدى الذين شملهم الاستبيان يمكن الارتكاز عليه لترشيد مياه الشرب في المحافظة من خلال حملات التوعية.
The problem of drinking water scarcity exacerbates in some villages in Tartous governorate making water conservation a priority. The aim of this study is to identify the patterns and practices of household water consumption of a sample of water subscribers in Tartous governorate in order to determine the procedures through which to rationalize the consumption of drinking water. For this purpose, a survey of 150 household water subscribers was conducted. The answers were then subjected to a statistical analysis. The results indicated the presence of a high percentage of those who follow the procedures for rationalizing the consumption of water within the sample (95.3%), and a low percentage of those who have the techniques for reducing water consumption (4.7%). The majority of those surveyed (87.3%) objected to increasing the price of water as a measure to reducing water consumption. The study revealed that there is a good aqueous awareness in the governorate on which one can rely in rationalizing the consumption of drinking water through awareness campaigns.

This paper examines the evolution of drinking water
consumption in Tartous governorate during the period (2009 -
2014) and its relationship to the emerging demographic situation
related to the presence of displaced people, in order to evaluate
the drinking water investment efficiency and to identify actions that
will develop this sector.
In this research, the natural pyrite ore found in Tartous Governorate was described by studying the two samples taken from Hosn Suleiman -Safita (A) and Al Qadmous (B) area, in addition to studying the optimum conditions for pyrite dissolution (pH -
time - quantity) with aerobic conditions.
The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the sample (A) is mainly composed of pyrite mineral and does not contain impurities, while sample (B) is composed of pyrite mineral combined with a small amount of calcite mineral, and these results were confirmed by the result of (FTIR) infrared spectroscopy and Polarised light microscopy (PLM(. The iron percentage in the two samples (A,B) is ranged between (42.6 – 43 %) and the sulfur percentage is between (40 – 53.7 %).
With regard to pyrite dissolution, the results showed that pyrite taken from Hosn Suleiman (A) begins to dissolve at pH values less than 4.5, and the contact time is about 6 hours. By Comparing the results of sample (A) with sample (B), we found that the dissolution of sample (A) was about three times less than the dissolution of sample (B), and this is due to the fact that sample (A) contains pure and well crystallized pyrite ore while sample (B) contains pyrite combind with calcite, which increases its solubility.
Solid waste management is a complex problem facing decision makers in Tartous,
especially in the process of selecting appropriate of solid waste land fill sites, because of
the nature of the province that rich in natural resources and high populati
on density. There
is a large number of large landfills that aren’t in convenient locations, and affect to
neighboring regions environment, adversely affect to the social life in the surrounding
communities.
In this research we identified the criteria that will be on the basis of evaluation of the
locations of these landfills to achieve environmental, social and economic conditions.
GIS was used to produce maps for each classification criterion separately to evaluate
the landfills according to each criterion, in order to extract information from weighted map
to get the appropriate locations.
The study concluded that landfills sites unrealized for the majority of the standards,
and to get a map showing the optimum locations of 18 sites with combined areas doesn’t
exceed 0,012% of the total study area.
Tartous governorate has many tourist attractions which led to the emergence of a
range of tourist activities, ranging in size and diversity in the size of their presence
according to varying demand and the form of dealing with the activity and in l
ine with the
interests of investors and their vision of tourism work and returns. The tourism activities
have shown the importance of tourism and the number of visitors according to the statistics
of 2010 to tourist sites is 117500 tourists and also the activity of residence includes
accommodation in chalets, furnished apartments and hotel accommodation is the most
common feeding activity between activities in addition to religious and cultural tourism
and hiking.
This paper Introduces a clear idea about marine and coastal
biodiversity of crustacean zooplankton and its quantitative and
qualitative monthly variations and its relationship with the changes
of some of the main environmental factors such as temperature,
salinity,dissolved oxygen, transparency and pH.
