Bozova Groundwater Quality Modeling And Evaluation Using Fuzzy Ahp Method Based On Gıs Technique
Abstract
One of the most important elements of economic growth and sustainable development in ecological balance is water. However, today, water, unlike the important natural resources of all periods, is in a state of international crisis; population is increasing on the other hand, water resources are decreasing and our planet is experiencing an increasingly dry period. People have already begun to feel the concern that they will not find water in the future and to take their precautions. In addition to the ever-increasing need for water in our country, the control and prevention of groundwater pollution are also gaining importance. In this study, samples taken from well waters consumed as drinking, irrigation and utility water in Bozova basin were analyzed according to the criteria specified in the Regulation on Water Intended for Human Consumption. It is aimed to establish a model for the groundwater quality of the site and to identify areas with high water quality. Water samples from 16 separate wells were obtained for this, and the results were then assessed using the F-AHP approach, one of the GIS supported MCDM methods. Groundwater quality maps were first classified by raster and then by reclassify in the Arc map environment. Afterwards, a groundwater pollution map was created by weighting the parameters in the F-AHP application. Finally, these parameters were interpreted and suggestions were made.
