In this study, Cr, Ni and Zn levels were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in edible muscle and skin tissues of Cyprinus carpio in Çamlıgöze Dam Lake located at Central Anatolian region of Turkey. The maximum levels were found to be 0.12 (Cr), 2.15 (Ni), 0.51 (Zn) µg/g in the muscle and 0.15 (Cr), 2.07 (Ni), 1.97 (Zn) µg/g in the skin of Cyprinus carpio. It was determined that Ni was the highest metal in tissues. The highest Cr and Zn levels were determined in the skin of Cyprinus carpio, whereas the highest Ni levels were measured in the muscle. The heavy metal accumulation orders for the tissues were as follows: Ni>Zn>Cr in Çamlıgöze Dam Lake. There was important statistical differences, especially at the level of zinc accumulation in tissues (p<0.001). There was a significant and positive correlation between age, total length, weight and metal levels for Cr (r>0.25, p<0.05) in the muscle and skin of Cyprinus carpio in Çamlıgöze Dam Lake. -

Similar to may aquatic habitats, it is exposed to intensive agricultural, domestic, and industrial pollution. The aim of this study was to determine the toxic element levels in Porsuk Stream Basin sediment and evaluate the detected data using a multi-statistical technique. For this purpose, sediment samples were collected from 18 stations selected on the basin (three of them located on Porsuk Dam Lake) in summer 2015, and zinc, copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, and chromium accumulations in sediment samples were determined. All the detected data were compared with the consensus-based threshold effect concentrations (TEC), and factor analysis (FA) also was applied to detected data in order to evaluate the contamination grades in the basin. According to detected data, although Cu, Pb, and Cd concentrations were detected below the limit values, Zn, Cr, and Ni concentrations exceeded the limit values in general. -

Bu amaçla, çalışma alanı Porsuk havzası seçilmiştir. Porsuk havzasındaki küçük ölçekli hidroelektrik potansiyelin değerlendirilmesi ve bölge/ülke ekonomisine kazandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada, Porsuk Çayı ve yan kolları üzerinde yeni planlaması yapılabilecek küçük hidroelektrik santrallerin yapılabilir olup olmadıkları araştırılmıştır. Makale’de, 1/25.000’lik haritalardan, baraj yerlerinin tespiti yapılmış, arazide bu yerlerin topoğrafik, zemin ve jeolojik bakımından uygunluğu incelenmiş ve uydu görüntüleri ile sayısallaştırılmış haritalarla desteklenmiştir. Bütün Porsuk havzası dikkate alındığında, Porsuk Çayı ve yan dereleri üzerinde planlaması öngörülebilecek 8 adet bölgede, yeni baraj yapımına uygun yerler tespit edilmiştir. Porsuk havzasındaki toplam su potansiyeli kullanılarak, 8,42 MW kurulu güç ile 30,212 GWh/yıl elektrik üretmek mümkündür. Bu yatırımların toplam maliyeti yaklaşık 75,65x10 6 US$ olacaktır. Hesaplar, Porsuk havzasındaki su kaynaklarının ve yağışın, iklim değişikliği nedeniyle kuraklıktan %30 oranında etkilemesi hali için bulunmuştur. Söz konusu yağışların normal seyretmesi halinde, elde edilecek elektrik enerjisi miktarı daha fazla olacaktır.

How Zebra Mussels Threaten to Water Supply Security and Effects of Preventive Measures in Turkey
Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 64 (2017) 99-126 EISSN 2392-2192 How Zebra Mussels Threaten to Water Supply Security and Effects of Preventive Measures in Turkey Seyit Aksu1, Dursun Yildiz2, Aysen Pervin Güngör3 1,3Hydropolitics Academy, Güfte Sok. 8/9 06680, Kavaklidere, Ankara, Turkey 2Hydropolitics Association, Güfte Sok. 8/9 06680, Kavaklidere, Ankara, Turkey 1-3E-mail address: [email protected] ; [email protected] ; [email protected] ABSTRACT Water mismanagement, overuse, unplanned and uncoordinated water management and climate change effects can be counted as emerging threats on renewable water resources and sustainable water use. These effects can also lead to a water supply security threats for the end user of water.In another words, water supply security is a very important part of the water security chains and directly depends on operational security of the water supply systems. Turkey has experienced with zebra mussels problems in Atatürk Dam and HEPP since 1997. Zebra Mussels accumulation has also created some problems in Birecik Dam in 2000. DSI (DG State Hydraulic Works) has started the site investigation on monitoring studies in Kesikköprü Dam and Atatürk Dam during years of 2001 and 2002. According to DSİ report (1), in Turkey, 629 small and large dams, 384 irrigation schemes, 98 water supply systems has been opened by State Hydraulic Works (DSİ) since 2005. Private sector has also built 510 river and canal type hydroelectric power plants since 2008. More than 100 small HEPP projects are under construction in different basins. About 550 small dams mainly for irrigation purposes are planned to built in near future.
