Assessment of Kehli Stream into which Effluents of Elazığ Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant are Discharged for Availability as Irrigation Water

Abstract

In this study, the usability of Kehli stream carrying the effluents of Elazığ Municipal Wastewater
Treatment Plant as irrigation water was investigated. Surface water samples were taken from Kehli stream during
12 weeks and parameters were analyzed. The highest electrical conductivity value and total dissolved solids
concentration were determined as 1150 µS cm
-1 at week 9 and 980 mg L-1 at week 10, respectively. It was determined
that there will not be any negative effects on soil infltration when Kehli stream was used as irrigation water. When
chlorine concentrations of Kehli stream (<178 mg L
-1) were compared with the values of criteria of irrigation water,
it could be said that the most sensitive plants are almond, apricot and plum. When sodium adsorption ratios of Kehli
stream (between 2 and 8) were compared with the values of criteria of irrigation water, it could be said that the
most sensitive plants are deciduous fruit trees, citrus and avocado. As a result, it was determined that Kehli stream
could be used as irrigation water. The plants which could be cultivated in the irrigated felds were also determined
by this study
