Azerbaijan Ceyranbatan dam drinking water features

The consumption and pollution of surface water is increasing day by day, as is the demand of human beings for undisturbed water resources. Also, perfect waters are difficult to obtain and not affordable. When heavy metals cannot be eliminated by treatment methods, their accumulation in the surrounding waterways and their inclusion in the food chain raises concerns about their safety. Numerous surface water sources are monitored for these pollutants because of their worrisome ecotoxicological consequences. In this study; Drinking water properties were investigated by taking a total of 6 samples from Ceyranbatan dam in the Absheron region of Azerbaijan in 2018 and 2021, with 3 samples each, and the results were tested for compliance with world standards; pH, EC, AKM, DO, Ca, Mg, Na, K for drinking water properties. Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Mo, S, Pb, Cd, Cr, As, Hg, and Ni measurements were made. All measurements were carried out according to the principles specified in the Standard Methods. At the end of the study, it has been determined that the Ceyranbatan Dam water complies with world standards and fully complies with the Regulation on Water for Human Consumption and international standards. According to the results of the research, there are no big differences between pH values (8.4 – 8.7) in 2018 and 2021. According to all analysis results, conductivity values vary between 514 and 622. Ceyranbatan reservoir is characterized as an oligotrofic basin due to its flora and fauna and chemical composition. Basin water quality indicators (for physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics) fully meet the requirements of DUST 2761-84 (Household water supply sources) currently in force in Azerbaijan.
