Determination of the drinking water quality index of Adana province

The water quality index (WQI) model is a popular method for evaluating surface water quality in recent years. Its basic approach is based on expressing a simple number of water quality, which includes many parameters. It is an extremely important criterion in the evaluation of water quality all over the world. A similar study was carried out for the sources of drinking water in Adana province. Drinking water quality index in Adana province (Seyhan, Yüreğir, Sarıçam, Çukurova) were determined by using two methods and fifteen water quality parameters pH, electrical conductivity (EC), turbidity, salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved oxygen, chloride (Cl), nitrate (NO3), sulfate (SO4), phosphate (PO4), iron (Fe), aluminum (Al), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg). According to result it is calculated that Canadian water quality index 84,6, British Columbia water quality index 81,6. This study has been showed that in Adana province, drinking water quality class grade is good. Keywords: Water Qality Paramater, Canada Water Quality Index, British Columbia Index, Water Analysis.
