This chapter presents the main water pollutants and their impacts on the environment as well as the water quality parameters (physical, chemical and biological) that are used in water resources assessment and management. The water quality of river, streams, lakes and groundwater is reviewed. Remediation and preventive measures are also examined. Water conservation practices and its effective use are analyzed for system users and system operators.

Assessment and prediction of water quality parameters in Lake Köyceğiz using artificial neural network approach
Özçelik, Oya; Alp, Emre; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Department of Environmental Engineering (2015)
Water quality monitoring plays a significant role on water resources management and planning. European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive aims to achieve “good status” for all waters.. Within the adaptation period to EU, Turkey aims to improve its water quality monitoring network; however, this will lead to time, budget and human resources problems. Purpose of this thesis is the application of a method that will provide water quality assessment (WQA) under limited budget and data conditions. The method wa...
Spatial data analysis for monitoring and prediction of selected water quality parameters in reservoirs: Porsuk Dam reservoir case
Yenilmez, Firdes; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Environmental Engineering (2014)
In the design of a water quality monitoring network, selection of water quality sampling locations is crucial to adequately represent the water quality of the water body when high costs of analyses and field work are taken into account. In this study, a new approach was proposed to identify the representative water quality sampling locations in reservoirs and lakes using geostatistical tools for estimation of spatial distribution of selected water quality parameters. To do so, kernel density estimation (KDE...
Water recycling and reuse in soft drink/beverage industry: A case study for sustainable industrial water management in Turkey
Alkaya, Emrah; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (2015-11-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate water conservation and reuse opportunities in a soft drink/beverage manufacturing company. Water use analysis and benchmarking were carried out to determine the areas and processes where significant water saving potential is present. Based on evaluations, water recycling and reuse practices were realized in cooling systems. As a result of applying these practices, the total specific cooling water demand of the company was reduced from 14.4 to 1.2 m(3)/m(3) product or...
Synthesis, characteristics and mechanistic insight into the clays and clay minerals-biochar surface interactions for contaminants removal-A review
Arif, Muhammad; Liu, Guijian; Yousaf, Balal; Ahmed, Rafay; Irshad, Samina; Ashraf, Aniqa; Zia-ur-Rehman, Muhammad; Rashid, Muhammad Saqib (2021-08-10)
Biochar (BC), a low-cost, porous and carbon-rich material, exhibits excellent potential as an adsorbent in the immobilization and removal of environmental contaminants from water and soil. To enhance the surface area, functionalities and adsorption efficiency of BC, various clay and clay mineral-based physical and chemical modification methods have been adopted. Although extensive studies have been conducted to evaluate the removal efficiencies of BC-clays and clay minerals composites, insight into synthesi...
A Multi-Scale Approach for Improved Characterization of Surface Water-Groundwater Interactions: Integrating Thermal Remote Sensing and in-Stream Measurements
VARLI, Dilge; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil (2018-07-01)
The interaction between surface water and groundwater is recognized as a key process for effective management of water resources. However, scale dependency and spatial heterogeneity of the processes at the interface are limiting factors in the characterization of this process. A hierarchical, multi scale methodology has been devised and demonstrated to effectively and efficiently characterize the surface water-groundwater interaction along a 2-km reach in Kirmir stream, Turkey. Our methodology starts with i...
