EVALUATION OF SURFACE WATER QUALITY IN PORSUK STREAM
شماره ركورد

Abstract
Porsuk Stream passing from the borders of Eskişehir and Kütahya has a significant water supply, feeds Sakarya River, which has an important water potential in Turkey. In particular, Porsuk Stream is used as domestic water in the Eskişehir Provinces. Therefore, determination of water quality of Porsuk Stream has a great importance for the health of ecosystems for the region. Water samples were collected seasonally (May 2010 – February 2011) from 13 stations selected on the Porsuk Stream and temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, conductivity, ammonium nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, sulphate, phosphate, chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand, total phosphorus, total chlorine, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium parameters were investigated. The detected physicochemical parameters were statistically compared among the stations and the effective factors were classified by using the Factor Analysis (FA). Also, Cluster Analysis (CA) was applied to the results to classify the stations according to physicochemical characteristics by using the PAST package program. The data observed were evaluated with national and international water quality criteria. This study presents the necessity and usefulness of statistical techniques such as CA, FA and One-Way ANOVA in order to get better information about the surface water quality monitoring studies.
