| Summary: | In this study, it was aimed to determine the water quality characteristics of Karadere River. For this purpose, physical parameters,
major anion-cation and trace element analyzes were carried out by performing surface water sampling in Karadere River. In order to
determine the hydrochemical properties, two periods of surface water sampling were carried out in October-2020 and April-2021. The
physical properties, major anion and cation analysis results of the water samples were evaluated according to the World Health
Organization WHO, TS266 (Regulation on Water Intended for Human Consumption) and Water Pollution Control Regulation. Water
types in Karadere surface water were determined as Ca-HCO3 and Ca-Na-HCO3. It has been determined that Karadere surface water
is suitable for drinking water in terms of this physical parameters and major anions-cations according to WHO and TS266 Regulation
on Water Intended for Human Consumption. According to the Water Pollution Control Regulation, all parameters were determined to
be in I and II water class. When examined in terms of pollution, it is seen that Karadere surface water is in IV class water class
according to NO2 content. It has been determined that the Al and Fe values of the rainy period in terms of trace element contents are
above the limit values defined in the TS266 Regulation on Water Intended for Human Consumption. It has been determined that
Karadere surface water can be used in agricultural activities in all plants except for plants that are sensitive to sodium and in plants
that need moderate salt.
