Murat River is the most important tributary of the Euphrates River, which has the highest water potential in Turkey. The seasonal variation of water quality parameters and water quality status of Murat River were determined according to the “Regulation on Surface Water Quality Management” criteria. 19 different parameters were measured in water samples taken from four different stations during the research. These parameters were temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, total hardness, total alkalinity, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), total phosphorus, fluoride, chloride, nitrite, nitrate, ammonium, sulfate, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a). According to “Regulation on Surface Water Quality Management”, physical and chemical analysis data showed that Murat River waters had "first-class water quality" in terms of temperature, dissolved oxygen, BOD, total phosphorus, fluoride, chloride, nitrate, ammonium, sulfate, "third-class water quality" for sodium, pH and “fourth class water quality” for nitrite. The electrical conductivity and alkalinity values were within normal limits and as "medium-hard" water. Considering all the results, it has been evaluated that there is no significant pollution problem in the Murat River.

Murat Nehri'nin (Bingöl, Türkiye) Su Kalitesinin, Fizikokimyasal ve Biyolojik Parametreler Açısından Mevsimsel Değişimi

Öz

Murat Nehri, Türkiye'de en yüksek su potansiyeline sahip Fırat Nehri’nin en önemli koludur. Murat Nehri su kalitesi parametrelerinin mevsimsel değişimi ve su kalitesi durumu “yüzey suyu kalite yönetmeliği” kriterlerine göre tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sürecinde dört farklı istasyondan alınan su örneklerinde sıcaklık, pH, çözünmüş oksijen, elektriksel iletkenlik, toplam sertlik, toplam alkalinite, Biyokimyasal Oksijen İhtiyacı (BOİ), toplam fosfat, florür, klorür, nitrit, nitrat, amonyum, sülfat, sodyum, potasyum, kalsiyum, magnezyum ve klorofil-a (Chl-a) ölçülmüştür. Yüzey suyu kalite yönetmeliğine göre, Murat Nehri sıcaklık, çözünmüş oksijen, BOİ, toplam fosfat, florür, klorür, nitrat, amonyum, sülfat açısından "birinci sınıf" , sodyum, pH için "üçüncü sınıf" , ve nitrit için "dördüncü sınıf" su kalitesine sahipti. Elektriksel iletkenlik ve alkalilik değerleri normal sınırlarda ve "orta sert" su olarak kabul edildi. Tüm sonuçlar dikkate alındığında, Murat Nehrinde önemli bir kirlilik sorunu olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
