Effect of Discharge Fluctuation on Water Quality Variables from the Yeşilırmak River
Abstract
In this study, streamflow and water quality variables including specific conductivity EC , water temperature, Na+, K+, Ca2++Mg2+, CO32-, HCO3-, Cl, SO4 B, sodium adsorption rate SAR , hardness and total salt TS , relationships and hysteresis diagrams were investigated to determine the major processes affecting water quality in the Yeşilırmak River. The base-flow water discharge was observed between July and February whereas March April and May represent a peak as a result of seasonal rainfall, snowmelt and run-off. The results indicate that most variables exhibit clockwise hysteresis with high values during the base-flow and lower values during the high discharge. There is a negative relationship between discharge and water quality variables including EC, Na+, K+, Ca2++Mg2+, HCO3-, Cl-, SO2-, SAR, hardness and TS. However, no relationship was obtained between discharge and water temperature, pH, CO32- and B. Among the water quality variables EC, Ca2++Mg, HCO3-, SO42-, hardness and TS exhibit an open clockwise loop whereas pH, Na+, K+, Cl CO, SAR and B exhibit a complex loop. Water temperature was the only variable that exhibits counterclockwise loop
