Trend analysis and agricultural perspective availability of water quality parameters at Murat river [Murat Nehri Su kalite Parametrelerinin Trend Analizi ve Tarımsal Açıdan Kullanılabilirliği]

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine availability for irrigation and its temporal changing trend of Murat river water quality parameters. Long term water quality parameters (1986-2010) of water quality observation stations on Murat River were used for study. Water quality class was determined as C2S1 depend on electrical conductivity and sodium adsorption ratio(SAR) except for 2177- Adivar Observation Station and it was determined its usability for agricultural irrigation without any problem. In addition the most increasing trend was observed in 2102 Palu station for trend analyses of water quality parameters. It was concluded the necessity of observe of water quality in future with this study results. © 2016, Centenary University. All rights reserved.
