Prof. Zeliha SELEKJuryProf. Dr. Ahmet YÜCEERProf. Dr. Recep YURTALIn this study the effect of depth in getting water from dam reservoir on waterquality was examined. For this purpose, 8 muster from 2 different station weresampled between December 2004 and October 2005 from the Çatalan Dam Lakewater. During the study on water patterns from Çatalan Dam Lake these parametreswere measured; pH (5,9-8.3), Conductivity 365-470(µS/cm), total hardness 175-220(mg/l CaCO3), alkalinity 120-192 (mg/l CaCO3), TDS 256,20-329(mg/lt),temperature (0,9-30ºC), wind velocity 0-6,5 m/s, visibility secchi-disc 1-4,5 m Nomuch differences in water quality parametres were observed in the pattern fromdifferent station.Keywords: Water Quality, Çatalan Dam, Surface Waters.
