Bursa ili sınırları içerisinde kalan ve İznik
Gölü ile Gemlik Körfezi arasında bulunan Karsak Deresi, Gemlik ilçesinin en çok
su taşıyan akarsuyudur. İznik Gölü’nün boşalımını sağlayan Karsak Deresi, İznik
Gölü ve havzasındaki kirlilik kaynaklarına maruz kalarak içeriğindeki birçok
kirletici ile birlikte Gemlik Körfezi’ne dökülmektedir. Orhangazi güney
kısmının fosseptik sularının yanı sıra bölgedeki sanayi kuruluşlarının ve özel
şirketlerin atık suları Karsak Deresi aracılığıyla Gemlik Körfezi’ne taşınmakta
ve önemli ölçüde kirlilik problemi oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 2013 ve 2014
yıllarında kirlilik izlenmesi amacıyla Karsak Deresi’nde seçilen 10 farklı
noktadan mevsimsel olarak alınan su örneklerine ait veriler incelenmiştir.
Örneklerde analiz edilen pH, sıcaklık, çözünmüş oksijen, kimyasal oksijen
ihtiyacı, amonyak azotu, nitrat azotu, nitrit azotu, alüminyum, bakır, demir,
mangan, nikel, çinko, bor, kurşun ve krom gibi parametrelerin mevsimsel
ortalamaları, Su Kirliliği Kontrolü Yönetmeliği (SKKY)’nde verilen Kıta içi Su
Kaynaklarının Sınıflarına Göre Kalite Kriterleri’ne göre değerlendirilerek
Gemlik Körfezi’ne taşınan kirlilik potansiyeli ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.
The Karsak Stream, located within the borders of
Bursa and between İznik Lake and Gemlik Bay, is the most water-bearing stream
of Gemlik District. Karsak Stream, which provides the discharge of İznik Lake,
is exposed to pollution sources in İznik Lake and basin and it is flows into
Gemlik Bay with many pollutants in its content. Besides the septic waters of
the southern part of Orhangazi, the wastewater of the industrial enterprises
and private companies in the region is transported to the Gulf of Gemlik via
Karsak Stream and creates a significant pollution problem. In this study, the
data of water samples taken from 10 different points selected in Karsak Stream
for seasonal monitoring in 2013 and 2014 were examined. Seasonal averages of
pollution parameters such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen
demand, nitrogen and a number of heavy metals were analyzed in the samples. Quality Criteria
according to the Classes of Inland Water Resources are evaluated. Thus, the
potential for pollution transported to the Gulf of Gemlik is revealed.
