Abstract
The Physical and Chemical Evaluation of the Drinking Water of the Province of Samsun
On the earth, only 3% of water supplies can be used as drinking water.In Samsun province, like many regions in our country, despite more surface and ground water supplies the amount of safely usable water is lessening day by day because of pollutants sourced from human settlements and agricultural and industrial areas. In this study, the kind, adequacy and disinfection status of drinking water supplies in urban and rural areas in Samsun province were investigated and also it was investigated whether environmental or chemical pollution was present nearby these supplies. 1480 samples, collected from 738 different points, were analysed at Public Health Institute of Samsun province.
In this study, it was determined that 28.1% of the population of Samsun province had inadequate water, 40.8% had some pollutants nearby the water supplies and 35.0% were using drinking water without any disinfection process. House-connected water was used more frequently in urban areas whereas spring and well water was used in rural areas. In result, drinking-water used in rural areas was containing more chemical pollutants than used in urban areas. The mean hardness of drinking-water was 26.3+0.3 and the proportion of polluted water by chemicals was found 22.6% in Samsun province
Yeryüzünde mevcut suların sadece %3'ü içme ve kullanma sulandır. Ülkemizin birçok yöresinde olduğu gibi, Samsun ilinde de güvenilir içme ve kullanma suyu miktarı, evsel, tarımsal ve endüstriyel kirlilik nedeniyle giderek azalmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Samsun ilinde kırsal ve kentsel alanlarda içme sularının cinsi, yeterliliği, kaynak çevresinde kir¬lenme, dezenfeksiyon durumu ve kimyasal kirlilik taşıyıp taşımadığı araştırılmıştır. İçme sularının değerlendirilmesi amacıyla 738 ayrı noktadan toplam 1480 su örneği alınarak Samsun Bölge Hıfzısıhha Enstitüsü'nde analiz edilmiştir.
Araştırma sonucunda; il nüfusunun %28.1'inin yetersiz suya sahip olduğu; %40.8'inin kullandığı su kaynağının çevresinde kirletici bir unsur bulunduğu; %35'inin dezenfekte edilmeyen su kullandığı saptandı. Kentsel alanda en sık şebeke suyu, kırsal alanda ise kaynak ve kuyu sulan kullanılmaktaydı. Bunun sonucunda da kırsal kesimde kullanılan sular, kentsel kesime oranla daha fazla kimyasal kirlilik taşımaktaydı. İldeki suların or¬talama sertliği 26.3±0.3 olup; kimyasal olarak kirli bulunan su oranı %22.6 idi.
