ABSTRACT
In our study, samples were taken from the groundwater that is used for drinking and irrigation in the
Melendiz Water Basin, and the quality of water and the factors causing pollution were determined by evaluating
them according to “Continental Water Sources Quality Classification Criterions” (Republic of Turkey
Ministry of Environment and Forest/Regulation for Water Pollution Control). When the analysis results of
samples taken between 2006 and 2009 were compared, it was determined that the amount of pollution
increased in time. Moreover, the seasonal variations of ground water quality criterions were determined and
the precautions that should be taken to minimize this pollution were discussed.
