Some Water Quality Properties of Acı Lake and Meke Lake (Konya/ Turkey)

Abstract

Living beings need water to sustain their lives. Usage, conservation and management of water supplies are therefore extremely important. Researches on the investigation of the water quality properties of aquatic ecosystems are frequently carried out. The purpose of this study is to determine water quality characteristics of Acı Lake and Meke Lake. The lakes are located in Konya Province, Karapınar District and they are important habitats for birds and other species. In this study, some physical and inorganic parameters were examined in Acı Lake and Meke Lake at July 2014, October 2014 and January 2015. During the study, water samples were taken seasonally from the stations in the lakes. Results were compared with water pollution control regulation (SKKY) and water intended for human consumption standards (TS-266). According to Pearson Correlation Index (PCI) analysis, physical and inorganic parameters relationships were determined. About the measurement results of the physical and inorganic parameters, temperature values at July 2014 in two lakes, electrical conductivity values for all measurements in two lakes, dissolved oxygen and oxygen saturation values at July 2014 and October 2014 in Meke Lake and color values for all measurements in Meke Lake exceeded the limit values specified in the regulations, values other than these were found within the limit values of the regulation. According to PCI results, physical and inorganic parameters showed positive and negative correlation with each other in Acı Lake and Meke Lake.
