This research was carried out along the joint forestry, forestry-agricultural and totally agricultural land of Behi ce, Çayırdüzü and Dikkaya Villages of Çamlıhemşin, to obtain of the effect of the use of fertilizers around agricultural land on surface water of the stream via researching the physicochemical water quality findings such as nitrite, nitrate, ammonium and phosphate ions as well as basic water quality parameters from 8 different chosen stations on the river profiles, which are under the effect of forestry land without any fertilizers, tea land with fertilizers and some mixed land (of tea and forest). According to the findings of the study, the use of fertilizers in the region is significant in terms of their effects on the water quality of surface water resources. However, it is understood that these differences are not statistically significant in terms of time and use of land compared to other factors except ammonia nitrogen. Water quality concentrations measured in the study are 1st class (very clean) according to Water Quality Standards of Water Pollution and Control Regulation of Turkey and they are only 2nd class (polluted a little) in terms of nitrite. }, number={1}, publisher={Bülent VEREP}
