EFFECT OF FLOW AND SEDIMENT CONCENTRATION ON SOME WATER QUALITY PARAMETERS IN MURAT RIVER

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of current-sediment quantity on some water quality parameters and to evaluate some characteristics waters of the Murat river. In the research, were used data of Palu and Akkonak observation stations on Murat river. According to the results of the study, it was determined that the values of water quality parameters decreased with increasing flow rate and sediment concentration in both stations. However, in order to make it clear that the relation between concentration-water quality parameters is meaningless, the result that the measurements in the stream must be made instantaneously and continuously has been put forward.
