Göksu River
HARDNESS: Hard water is water that has a high mineral content (water with a low mineral content is known as soft water). This content usually consists of high levels of metal ions, mainly calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in the form of carbonates, but may include several other metals as well as bicarbonates and sulfates.
Origin: Rock formations, limestone
pH
PHOSPHATE:
• Sediments from rocks and soil;
• Effluent from waste water treatment plants and on site sewage disposal units;
• Detergents and fertilisers that have been washed down drains or that have run off from properties due to poor land management practices and stormwater pollution;
• Decaying organic matter.
TURBIDITY
DISSOLVED OXYGEN
CHLORIDE:
Origin: It exists all natural water.
Also, reaching max. value in sea water.
Seweage is a rich source of chloride.
Over of 2000mg/l is caused by pollution.
TEMPERATURE
SULPHATE:
Origin: Rocks, geological formations, discharges
Excess amount of sulphate means fabric of concrete sewer pipes.
The source of Göksu River is Elmalı Dam and rain water.
Results show that water quality of Göksu River cannot be used for any purpose. It seems highly trophic. Because of that only some algae, some zooplanktons and some species of fish can live.
There is a big difference in terms of dissolved oxygen and pH between day time and night. Especially, the place where the river pours into the sea, level of CO2, CO3 and HCO3 ions concentrations are very low.
The amount of CO2 decreases during day time, because of photosynthesis.
