Abstract

With the aim of determining the water quality of Şerefiye Dam, Sivas province, the present study was carried out on the samples collected monthly from 3 stations between January 2014 and December 2014. In the analyses, which examined 25 variables, water quality was determined using the World Health Organization drinking water standards, water quality index (WQI), sodium absorption ratio (SAR), sodium percentage, permeability index (PI), magnesium index, irrigation index, and the Surface Water Quality Regulation (SWQR) of the Turkish Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs. The mean value of water quality index in the dam was found to be 46.82 and the mean value of IWOI irrigation was found to be 3.90. The results obtained here showed that Şerefiye Dam was in the "very good" class in terms of water quality index and irrigation water quality. In addition, there was no oxygen deficiency due to excessive oxygen consumption during organic matter decomposition. The water quality parameters were much lower than the thresholds set in the SWQR, but according to the results of factor analysis (FA), the main variables responsible for the processes in the ecosystem were TSS, COD, SO3, SO4, EC, BOD, NO3, NH4, DO and Fe

Abstract

Sivas ili Şerefiye Barajı'nın su kalitesinin belirlenmesi amacıyla bu çalışma, Ocak 2014 ile Aralık 2014 tarihleri arasında 3 istasyondan aylık olarak toplanan numuneler üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. 25 değişkenin incelendiği analizlerde su kalitesi, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü içme suyu standartları, su kalite indeksi (WQI), sodyum absorbsiyon oranı (SAR), sodyum yüzdesi, geçirgenlik indeksi (PI), magnezyum indeksi, sulama indeksi ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Bakanlığı Yüzey Suyu Kalitesi Yönetmeliği (SWQR) Orman ve Su İşleri Daire Başkanlığı. Barajdaki su kalite indeksinin ortalama değeri 46,82, IWOI sulamalarının ortalama değeri ise 3,90 olarak bulunmuştur. Burada elde edilen sonuçlar Şerefiye Barajı'nın su kalite indeksi ve sulama suyu kalitesi açısından "çok iyi" sınıfta olduğunu gösterdi. Ayrıca organik madde ayrışması sırasında aşırı oksijen tüketiminden dolayı oksijen eksikliği de yaşanmadı. Su kalitesi parametreleri SWQR'de belirlenen eşik değerlerden çok daha düşüktü ancak faktör analizi (FA) sonuçlarına göre ekosistemdeki süreçlerden sorumlu ana değişkenler TSS, COD, SO3, SO4, EC, BOD, NO3, NH4, DO ve Fe.
