Quality Assessment of Groundwater Resources of Sarıgöl Plain for Irrigation Purpose
In this study, the quality of underground water resources used for irrigation in Sarıgöl Plain was determined. For this purpose, electrical conductivity (EC), pH, Na, K, Ca+Mg, Cl, CO3, HCO3, SO4, NO3 and B analyzes were carried out in water samples taken from 26 wells in April and September of 20...

| Summary: | In this study, the quality of underground water resources used for irrigation in Sarıgöl Plain was determined. For
this purpose, electrical conductivity (EC), pH, Na, K, Ca+Mg, Cl, CO3, HCO3, SO4, NO3 and B analyzes were carried out in
water samples taken from 26 wells in April and September of 2014. In addition, sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), irrigation
water class and residual sodium carbonate (RSC) contents were determined. In water samples (n= 52) pH was found to be
between 6.70 to 7.50 and the electrical conductivity varied between 562 to 1323 μS cm-1. The salinity class varied between
C2-C3 and the alkalinity class was found to be S1. No specific ion effect was detected. NO3 pollution was not found in the
regional waters. The pH and EC values of water samples were also evaluated by geostatistical methods. While the range of
spatial variation (Ao) for pH values for first and second sampling period were determined as 7200m and 2312m,
respectively, this value was determined as 7824m for both sampling periods for EC. |
