A research on water quality criteria of Gökyokuş (Sapur) Stream

In this study, in order to investigate the water quality change of Gökyokuş (Sapur) Creek, samples were collected from five different sampling points between March 2017 - September 2019 for four seasons and analyzes were conducted. The parameters; water temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, saturation and turbidity were determined by measurements and observations at the site. Calcium, magnesium, total hardness, chloride, salinity, carbonate, bicarbonate, total alkalinity, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, sulfate, phosphorus, total iron, manganese, zinc, chromium and cyanide parameters were determined by laboratory analysis. The average of the parameters examined during the research; water temperature 10.95 ° C, dissolved oxygen 7.97 mg / L, saturation %73.1, pH 8.16, electrical conductivity 317 μS / cm, salinity ‰ 0.054, turbidity 19.6 NTU, chloride 31.8 mg / L, calcium 89.4 mg / L, magnesium 49.14 mg / L , total hardness 412.46 mg / L, carbonate 0.0 mg / L, bicarbonate 709.6 mg / L, total alkalinity 581.6 mg / L, nitrate 8.44 mg / L, nitrate nitrogen 1.89 mg / L, nitrite 0.027 mg / L, nitrite nitrogen 0.011 mg / L, ammonium 0.05 mg / L, ammonia 0.05 mg / L, total phosphorus 0.61 mg / L, sulfate 19.98 mg / L, total iron 0.05 mg / L, zinc 0.17 mg / L, chromium 0.012 mg / L, manganese was 0.89 mg / L, cyanide was 0.0021 mg / L. In general, Gökyokuş Stream is less polluted and has certain quality of drinking, use, fishing and irrigation at certain points.
