Determination of Water Quality of Ergene River By Planning Environmental Information System

Abstract

Today, it has become necessary to deal with the water resources problems by studies on regional basis or even on the basis of river basin. In this study, considering the water quality as a limiting factor for the Ergene Basin, it was decided that an analysis of the variation of water quality with respect to years is necessary, and therefore, the identification of water quality classes was aimed at using a software package program (MapInfo). Upon queries, it is determined that the river water at spring section is I. quality water, whereas the river water at downstream side can be classified as IV.-V. quality water as irrigation water.
