Özet:

Sultanköy Dam Lake is located in the İpsala District of Edirne Province in the west part of Ergene River Basin. As in many aquatic ecosystem, Sultanköy Dam Lake is also adversely affected by the agricultural applications conducted around the reservoir. The aim of this research was to determine the water quality of this reservoir in rainy season by determining a total of 13 limnologic parameters including dissolved oxygen (DO), oxygen saturation, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity, turbidity, nitrite (NO2), phosphate (PO4), sulfate (SO4), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and oxidation reduction potential (ORP) and evaluate the detected data in terms of Water Pollution Control Regulations in Turkey. According to data observed, Sultanköy Dam Lake has Class I – II water quality in terms of dissolved oxygen, oxygen saturation, pH, EC, TDS, nitrite, sulphate, COD and BOD parameters, and Class III water quality in terms of phosphate parameters in general.
