Coal exploration activities continue in the vicinity of Çeltikçi town located at 20 km southeast of Kızılcahamam district in Ankara province. The purpose of this study is conduct hydrogeological characterization and investigation of the watershed of Çeltikçi coal basin. In order to accomplish this purpose (1) existing data related to study area were compiled and reviewed; (2) monthly instantaneous flow measurements were conducted to evaluate runoff and surface water flow potential in the study area, (3) exploration wells and pump wells were opened and aquifer tests and groundwater level measurements were conducted at these wells, (4) field quality parameters were measured from all monitoring points and water sampling were conducted from these monitoring wells for detailed laboratory analysis, and (5) water bearing units and relation between them were identified, spatial distribution of aquifer hydraulic parameters, spatial and temporal variation of water levels, spatial and temporal variation of water quality, boundary conditions and conceptual groundwater budget were analyzed. The results of this study present the groundwater problems which can be encountered in future mining operations planned in the field.

Çatak, Mert Onursal; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Department of Geological Engineering (2016)
The purpose of the study is to characterize the hydrogeological conditions at the Alpu Coal Mine Exploration Site which is located in the Eskisehir Province in Turkey. This is required to provide baseline hydrogeological information before environmental impact assessment of the planned mining operations can be done. The characterization studies included hydrogeological and hydrochemical analysis of groundwater and surface water. The spatial and temporal variations in groundwater levels are determined by mea...

Scenario Planning for Water Resources A Saudi Arabian Case Study
Dejong, Remy Lucıen; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Allayla, Rashıd Ibrahım (1989-01-01)
Uncommonly rapid development of the oil-rich Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia has led to heavy stresses on the local groundwater resources and there has arisen concern for the adequacy of supply to sustain future growth. Whereas oil is the only significant export commodity, the demand for it has an important and immediate impact on water exploitation activities. In this article four development scenarios are considered, each resulting in a specific water abstraction pattern. The hydrologic consequences of e...

Kaplan, Tülin; Koçyiğit, Ali; Department of Geological Engineering (2004)
Study area, the Urus province, is located 70 km WNW of city of Ankara. Major settlements in the study area are two counties, Urus and Güdül; and there are a number of villages, such as, from W to E, Macun, Yogunpelit, Kabaca, Üregil, Özköy, Tahtaciörencik, Kirkkavak, Kavaközü, Kayi and Karacaören. The study area is 189 km2 in size and included in 1/25000-scaled topographic quadrangles of H28a3, a4, d1 and d2. The Güdül- Urus section of the Çeltikçi morphotectonic depression (Çeltikçi Basin) drained by the A...
Hydrogeological characterization of the northern part of the Kışladağ gold mine area
Fırat, Egemen; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Department of Geological Engineering (2013)
The purpose of this study is to characterize the hydrogeological conditions at the northern part of the Kışladağ Gold Mine located in Uşak Province in the West of Turkey. Because of the planned mining activities in the area, it is essential to characterize the system in order to assess the impacts of mining operations on surface and groundwater systems. The characterization studies included the hydrological, hydrogeological, and hydrochemical analysis of surface and groundwater. Hereby, the relevant measure...
