Abstract

Lakes are among the most important wetland ecosystems. Lakes which are important ecologically are special ecosystems and have many significant roles such as arranging water regime of the region, enabling characteristic plant and animal groups to live and forming a great source economically, culturally, scientifically and recreationally. In addition, the lake as a resource for various human activities (fishing, recreation and tourism, power generation, waste water emissions et al.,) and as a shelter for nature has to be adequately managed and exploited according to the approved regulations.

Muğla Province, located between 36°17' and 37°33` Northern latitude and 27°13`and 29°46` Eastern longitude, has 13 328 km2 surface area and a very rough terrain. The province is located in the basins of Büyük Menderes, Dalaman and Eşen Rivers and surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea in the South and the Aegean Sea in the West. Muğla Province is rich in terms of fresh water resources with major water resources in the province being the Eşencay and Dalaman Rivers, Bafa Lake, Güllük Lagoon and Köyceğiz Lake.
This study was carried out between June 2011 and May 2012 in these important lakes; Köyceğiz, Bafa and Limni Lake. These stations, selected these lakes were investigated for water quality aspects. In total 15 stations points were water sampled on these lakes. Water temperature, pH and electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen were measured on site by using YSI 556 MPS multi-probe instrument. Samples taken from the site were measured in terms of ortho-phosphate, nitrite nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen in the Basis Sciences Laboratory of Fishering Faculty in Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University.
Water samples, taken from these stations were studied for physico-chemical evidences. Results of the study were determined as: water temperature (11.43-28.62 ⁰C), pH (6.03-8.90), electrical conductivity (403.6-2124 µScm-1), dissolved oxygen (1.73-11.42 mgL-1), nitrite nitrogen (BDL-0.12 mgL-1), nitrate nitrogen (BDL-25.85 mgL-1), ammonia nitrogen (BDL-1.64 mgL-1) and ortho-phosphate (BDL-1.24 mgL-1). Physico-chemical data were evaluated in accordance with the Legislation of Water Pollution Control. As a conclusion of this study the pollution in these lakes were seen to be mostly influenced by a combination of anthropogenic factors, agricultural pollutants, tourism activities, domestic waste and sewage water.

Abstract

Göller en önemli sulak alan ekosistemleri arasındadır. Ekolojik olarak önemli olan göller, özel ekosistemlerdir ve bölgenin su rejimini düzenlemek, karakteristik bitki ve hayvan gruplarının ekonomik, kültürel, bilimsel ve rekreasyonel bir şekilde yaşamalarını ve büyük bir kaynak oluşturmalarını sağlamak gibi birçok önemli role sahiptir.Bunun yanında, çeşitli insan faaliyetleri (balıkçılık, rekreasyon ve turizm, enerji üretimi, atık su emisyonu vd.,)ve doğa için bir sığınak olarak kabul edilen göller, güncel yönetmeliklere göre yönetilmeli ve sömürülmemelidir.
36°17'-37°33` Kuzey enlemleri ve 27°13`-29°46` Doğu boylamları arasında yer alan Muğla, 13328 km2 yüzey alanına ve çok engebeli bir arazi yapısına sahiptir. Muğla İli, Büyük Menderes, Dalaman ve Eşençayı havzalarında yer alıp, Güneyde Akdeniz, Batıda Ege Denizi ile çevrilidir. Muğla ili, Eşencayı, Dalaman Çayı, Bafa Gölü, Güllük Lagünü ve Köyceğiz Gölü gibi ana su kaynakları ile diğer tatlı su kaynakları bakımından zengindir.
Bu çalışma aylık olarak Haziran 2011 ile Mayıs 2012 tarihleri arasında Köyceğiz, Bafa ve Limni Gölü’nde yapılmıştır. Seçilenbu istasyonlardaki göller su kalitesi yönünden araştırılmıştır.Bu göllerden seçilen toplam 15 istasyon noktasından su örnekleri alınmıştır.
Su sıcaklığı, pH, elektriksel iletkenlik ve çözünmüş oksijen, YSI 556 MPS çoklu prob cihazı kullanılarak sahada ölçülmüştür.Sahadan alınan örnekler Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Su Ürünleri Fakültesi Temel Bilimler Laboratuvarı’na getirilerek,orto-fosfat, nitrit azotu, nitrat azotu ve amonyum azotu bakımından ölçülmüştür.Bu istasyonlardan alınan su örnekleri fiziko-kimyasal parametreler yönünden incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları şu şekilde belirlenmiştir: Su sıcaklığının 11,43 ile28,62⁰C, pH’ın 6,03 ile 8,90, elektriksel iletkenliğin 403,6 ile 2124 µScm-1, çözünmüş oksijen değerinin 1,73 ile 11,42 mgL-1, nitrit azotunun BDL ile0,12 mgL-1, nitrat azotunun BDLile 25,85 mgL-1, amonyum azotunun BDL ile 1,64 mgL-1 ve orto–fosfat değerlerinin BDL ile 1,24 mgL-1arasında değişim gösterdiği saptanmıştır.Fiziko-kimyasal parametreler Su Kirliliği Kontrolü Mevzuatı’na uygun olarak değerlendirilmiştir.Bu çalışmanın bir sonucu olarak, bu göllerdeki kirliliğin çoğunlukla antropojenik faktörler, tarımsal kirleticiler, turizm faaliyetleri, evsel atıklar ve atık su kombinasyonundan etkilendiği görülmüştür.
