Determination of Water Quality and Usability Level of Eğlence Pond (Boyabat, Sinop)
Abstract
In this study, the first quality data on water quality of Eğlence pond which is located in Boyabat province of Sinop, was evaluated. The monitoring study was performed monthly in three sampling sites between September 2015 and August 2016. A total of 21 physicochemical parameters and 7 heavy metal levels were evaluated on the seasonal, and annual. Then, these values have been classified according to the WHO and Turkey’s Water Quality Management Regulation criteria. The Eğence Pond water is generally suitable for aquatic organisms and irrigation. However, the high water temperatures detected during the autumn season can pose a threat to living sensitive aquatic organisms. In this study, water temperature, sulphite, nitrate and pH changes do not a very dangerous situation.
The sources of pollution threatening this Pond can be primarily the climate, and the fertilizers used in agricultural activities around the Eğlence pond.
