Özet:

Lake Uluabat is located 20 km south of the Marmara Sea, within the border of the Bursa lake as a central location at the 40010' northern edge and 28036' east length. The lake is one of our country’s wealthy stainless lakes in terms of water plants, fish and bird beings. It is also an internationally recognized natural area of life recognized by Ramsar and Living Lakes Network. In the study, Uluabat Lake water quality was monitored monthly at 8 different stations determined within the lake in a 12-month process covering the periods of June 2008-May 2009 and the regional and timing changes of the parameters were monitored. The monitored parameters include pH, temperature (T), electrical conductivity (EC), solved oxygen (CO), suspended solid substance (AKM), shell depth (SD), water depth (WL), nitrate nitrate (NO3-N), total nitrogen (TN), phosphate (PO4-P), total phosphorus (TP), alkalinity, chemical oxygen need (KOI) and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a). The study found that the concentrations of the parameters were regionally high, especially in the areas where the 1, 4, 5 and 8 stations were located, and temporarily often in the summer months. According to the results of the variance analysis, all parameters except AKM and NO3-N have significant regional and time changes.
