Sediment plays a
crucial role in water quality. Hydrophobic substances that cannot dissolve in
water have potential to accumulate in sediment. Thus, by conducting only water
quality monitoring, it is impossible to detect these substances. Moreover, by sediment
monitoring, the information about historic contamination can be gained by
performing vertical sampling in sediment.

In this study, it is
aimed to select the parameters that should be monitored in sediment in Beysehir
Lake. For this purpose, specific pollutants that can originate around
industries of Beysehir Lake is selected. Also, pesticides specific to plants
that cultivated in Konya Basin is identified. Between these pollutants the ones
that have the tendency to accumulate in sediment are specified. Priority substances
are also studied and list of chemicals that should be monitored in sediment is
determined.
