AB  - This study was carried out to investigate the effects of the wastewater treatment plant located in the Aziziye District of Erzurum Province on the Karasu River. For this purpose, water samples were taken from 3 stations for a year between 2022-2023. The mean water temperature was measured in situ during sampling as 13.8 ˚C, the mean pH value was 7.7, the mean electrical conductivity was 403 µs/cm, and the mean dissolved oxygen value was 6 mg/l. The mean total suspended solid (TSS) amount was determined as 46.7 mg/l, the mean chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration was 28.9 mg/l, the mean biological oxygen demand (BOD) concentration was 18.5 mg/l, the mean total nitrogen (TN) concentration was 4.47 mg/l, the mean nitrate (NO3) concentration was 5.35 mg/l, the mean nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) concentration was 1.21 mg/l, the mean total hardness (TH) was 155 mg/l, the mean ammonium (NH4) concentration was 2.75 mg/l, and the mean ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N) concentration was 2.16 mg/L. As a result, it was determined that the Wastewater Treatment Plant positively affected some water quality parameter values of the Karasu River.
