The aim of this study is to investigate drinking water sources in the Yedioluk and Kozan regions within the boundaries of Adıyaman province in terms of hydrogeochemistry, isotope geochemistry and medical geology. There are 8 drinking water sources which have important water potentials in the northeast of the Adıyaman center. The Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous Koçali Complex is the main aquifer and a significant part of the drinking water resources are discharged from this aquifer. Yedioluk and a significant portion of the drinking water resources of the Kozan region are supplied from this aquifer. Water quality parameters were investigated in the water samples obtained from 8 different springs, and isotope analyzes were also performed by IRMS method for δ18O (Oxygen)-δ2H (Deuterium), and IAEA method for TU (Tritium). Samples were taken for the analyses at wet/dry seasons for one year. Ionchromatography (IC) and ICP-OES were used to determine several parameters such as trace elements, metal sandanion-cationconcentrations. Information abouttheorigin of the waters was obtained by using the isotope analysis, and there sults showed that the studied water resources are in the cold water class. In addition, it was found that the majority of the water resources in there gion have high concentrations of nitrateions. Thus, it is proposed that, waters should be treated by using water treatmentmet hods for there moval of nitrateions before bein gused as a source of drinking water.
