Investigation of the Temporal Variation of Water Quality in Ziyaret Pond Basin

Urbanization, rapid population growth, intensive land use and land cover changes have negative impact on water quality. In this research, Amasya Ziyaret Pond’s water basin flows’ various physical and chemical specifications for 2014 water year (from 01 October 2013 to 29 September 2014) were studied...

Description
Summary:Urbanization, rapid population growth, intensive land use and land cover changes have negative impact on water quality. In this research, Amasya Ziyaret Pond’s water basin flows’ various physical and chemical specifications for 2014 water year (from 01 October 2013 to 29 September 2014) were studied. Temperature, pH, ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, potassium, sulphate, phosphorus, conductivity (EC) specifications of the basin pond flows were identified with the analysis of the water samples collected. Basin flows were estimated with the MIKE 11 NAM hydrological model. The variations between the instant flows values and parameters identified periodically in the research basin and the effect of basic management applications such as fertilization are identified. Eutrophication risk caused by phosphorus, nitrate, nitrite was identified.
