Siirt Bölgesi Yüzey Sularında Ağır Metal Seviyelerinin Mevsimsel Değişimi

Ülkemiz nüfusunun hızla artması, son yıllarda artan tarımsal, sanayi ve madencilik faaliyetleri artan nüfusun ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması gerekliliği su talebini hızla artırmaktadır. Su ihtiyacındaki artış, sınırlı olan yüzey temiz su kaynaklarının izlenmesi, kontrol edilmesini öncelikli su politikalarının belirlenmesini gerektirir. Bu nedenle sadece su kalitesi değil, aynı zamanda su kaynaklarının miktarı da önemlidir. Bu çalışmada Siirt bölgesindeki başlıca yüzey sularında (Kezer, Başur, Bitlis, Botan ve Zarova nehirleri) bazı ağır ve metal tespitleri (As, Cu, Co, Ni, Cd, Cr, Mn, Pb) yapılmış ve mevsimsel değişiklikler araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışma sonucunda belirlenen ağır metal miktarı WHO (Dünya Sağlık Örgütü), EPA (Çevre Koruma Ajansı) ve TSE (Türkiye Standart Enstitüsü) tarafından belirlenen seviyelerin altındadır. Bununla birlikte, analiz edilen bu ağır metallerin seviyelerinin mevsimsel olarak önemli ölçüde değişmediği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Seasonal Change of Heavy Metals’ Levels in Surface Waters of Siirt Region

The rapid increase in the population of our country, the growing agricultural, industrial, and mining activities inrecent years and the necessity to meet the needs of the growing population increase the demand for water rapidly.The increase in the need for water requires monitoring and control of surface clean water resources, which arelimited, and determining priority water policies. For this reason, not only the water quality but also the amount ofwater resources is important. In this study, some heavy and metal determinations (As, Cu, Co, Ni, Cd, Cr, Mn, Pb)were performed in the major surface waters (Kezer, Başur, Bitlis, Botan and Zarova rivers) in Siirt region andseasonal changes were investigated. The amount of heavy metals determined as a result of this study is below thelevels determined by WHO (World Health Organization), EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and TSE(Turkısh Standard İnstitute). However, it was concluded that the levels of these heavy metals analyzed did notchange significantly seasonally
