The aim of this study is to find out whether there is chemical and microbiological degradation in the samples taken from fresh water sources near and far from high voltage lines. The samples were taken from Erfelek Meydan Village location Karasu River, Ayancık Tevfikiye Village location Zindan Brook, Ayancık Türkeli road junction Ayancık Brook, Durağan Yalnız Kavak location Gökırmak Water, Durağan- Boyabat Yalnız Kavak location Gökırmak water and Boyabat Sinecan Village location Kırkgeçit Brook in Sinop province of Turkey. Na+, K+, Cl-, pH and conductivity analysis were conducted chemically, while microbiological tests were made against Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria. All the results obtained were assessed according to 06.07.2019 dated and 30823 numbered ‘Legislation on the quality and treatment of water from which drinking water is obtained’ in T. C. Official Gazette. With this study, it can be said that high voltage lines in the province of Sinop do not have a significant effect on fresh water sources. Na+, K+, Cl- gave results in expected levels and conductivity gave results directly proportional to pH. In microbiological test results, Escherichia coli and coliform bacterial growth was found, while no microbiological degradation was found.

Yüksek Gerilim Hatlarının Tatlı Su Kaynaklarındaki Escherichia coli, Koliform ve Total koliform Bakterilerinin Canlılığına Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmadaki amaç yüksek gerilim hatlarına yakın ve uzak yerlerde bulunan tatlı su kaynaklarından alınan numunelerde kimyasal ve mikrobiyolojik açıdan bir bozulma olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Numuneler Sinop ilinin Erfelek Meydan Köyü mevkii Karasu Irmağı, Ayancık Tevfikiye Köyü mevkii Zindan Çayı, Ayancık Türkeli yol ayrımı mevkii Ayancık Çayı, Durağan Yalnız Kavak mevkii Gökırmak suyu, Durağan-Boyabat Yalnız Kavak mevkii Gökırmak suyu ve Boyabat Sinecan Köyü mevkii Kırkgeçit çaylarından alındı. Kimyasal açıdan Na+, K+, Cl- , pH, iletkenlik analizleri, mikrobiyolojik açıdan ise Escherichia coli ve koliform bakteri gruplarına karşı test edildi. Elde edilen tüm bulgular Resmi Gazetenin 06.07.2019 tarihli, 30823 sayılı ‘İçme suyu temin edilen suların kalitesi ve arıtılması hakkında yönetmeliğine’ göre değerlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışma ile Sinop ilinde bulunan yüksek gerilim hatlarının tatlı su kaynaklarına önemli bir etkide bulunmadığı söylenebilir. Na+, K+, Cl- beklenen seviyelerde, iletkenlik ise pH ile doğru orantılı sonuçlar verdi. Mikrobiyolojik test sonuçlarında ise Escherichia coli ve koliform bakteri üremeleri 
saptandı, herhangi bir mikrobiyolojik bozulmaya rastlanmadı.
