population growth. This requirement is not limited to drinking and irrigation
water; it is also important in energy production and industry development.
Antalya is one of the provinces with the highest water demand due to its
migration, agriculture and industry growth. Kumluca is one of the important
districts of Antalya with its growing population, important agricultural areas
and hydroelectric power plants just north of it. Agricultural is performed in
all season. In this study, in order to understand the effects of increasing
population and agriculture, heavy metal anomalies were investigated in surface
waters that passes throughout the plain. In May 2018, a systematic sampling was
taken from 48 locations between Alakir Dam and Alakir Bridge. The data obtained
in the results of chemical analysis was interpreted using HPI statistical
analysis. </span> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us"> </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">HPI value anomalies were
concentrated in two regions. These grouping were considered that because of the
dam in the upper region; because of the agricultural activities in the lower
region. </span> </p> <p> </p>}
