Özet:

 

The Lower Seyhan Catchment Area starts at the downstream of  the Seyhan Dam on the Seyhan River.  This fertile area is exposed to  dense agricultural activities.  Nutrient loads (nitrogen and  phosphorus) from these activities create an important pollution  potential for surface and groundwater resources in the area.  In  addition to the agricultural areas, these nutrient loads also  originate from domestic and industrial discharges.  In this study, the  transport of the estimated nutrient loads in the drainage channels was  determined by mathematical modeling.  In the modeling studies, the  local hydrology and irrigation periods were taken in to account.  In  these calculations, a commonly used water quality simulation approach,  QUALZEU was used for the prediction of parameter concentrations in the  drainage channel network.  Simulation runs were carried out for the  summer and winter periods of 1992 and 1993.
