There are many lakes, sinkholes, aquifers and springs with some complex interrelation among them in the karstic-lakes region of southern Turkey. Groundwater resources and lakes in the region are being used for municipal, industrial, and irrigation purposes at an increasing rate. The stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen were used to study the interrelation among lakes, groundwater aquifers, and coastal springs. The isotopic composition of precipitation throughout Turkey fell along the global meteoric line. Lake water composition deviated from precipitation and fell along an evaporation line. Isotopic composition of groundwater fell between that of the precipitation at Konya and in the lakes region. The isotopic composition of springs indicated that their origin was dominated by freshwater lakes having mixed with some groundwater. The groundwater was derived from meltwater infiltration and local precipitation deposited above 1000 a.m.s.l.

Environmental geological investigations at the Van open dump site, southeastern Turkey Akgün, Haluk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2000-04-01) This study evaluates the geological, hydrogeological and hydrological conditions at the I waste dump site of the Van municipality in eastern Anatolia, Turkey. A geological map and a three-dimensional view of the project site have prepared. All lithological units exposed at and near the dump site have been determined and their boundary relationships identified. Drainage basin characteristics of the dump site along with the water bearing properties of different lithological units have been assessed. For the r...
Characterization of the Karababa-C reservoir in the South Karakus oilfield, southeast Turkey Ulu, M; Karahanoğlu, Nurkan (1998-12-01) The South Karakus oil field is located in southeast Turkey, and produces, from the Late Cretaceous Mardin Group, carbonate reservoirs consisting of the Karababa, Derdere, Sabunsuyu and Areban Formations. The Karababa Formation is divided into three members, of which the productive Karababa-C member, discussed here, is composed of shallow marine bioclastic mudstone to wackestone. It is affected by early to late diagenetic processes that caused modification of the original pore system by cementation, dissolut...
Water Quality Assessment of a Shallow Lake in a Specially Protected Area Lake Mogan Ankara Turkey Kiraz, Melike; Alp, Emre (null; 2015-06-01) Mogan and Eymir Lakes are two shallow lakes, interconnected hydrologically in the close vicinity of Ankara, Turkey. A total of 245 km2 of the total 971.4 km2 watershed is under environmental protection status as ‘‘Go¨lbası Specially Protected Area’’. Potential impacts from extensive agriculture, recreation, incomplete infrastructure and other human activities, such as residential settlements, are discussed with reference to previous and more recent pollution monitoring. Six monitoring stations enabling fol...
Sedimentary records of past earthquakes in Boraboy Lake during the last ca 600 years (North Anatolian Fault, Turkey) Avşar, Ulaş; De Batıst, Marc; Schmidt, Sabine; Fagel, Nathalie (2015-09-01) Multiproxy sedimentological analyses along 4.9 m-long sequence of Boraboy Lake, which is located on the central eastern part of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF), reveal the sedimentary traces of past large earthquakes in the region. The lake has a relatively large catchment area (10 km(2)) compared to its size (0.12 km(2)), which renders sedimentation sensitive to heavy rain/storm events. Accordingly, the background sedimentation, which is composed of faintly laminated reddish/yellowish brown clayey silt, is...
Geological Considerations for the Economic Evaluation of Turkish Oil Shale Deposits and Their Combustion-Pyrolysis Behavior Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) The oil shale deposits in Turkey are widely distributed in middle and western Anatolia. Turkish oil shales are of Palaeocene-Eocene and middle upper Miocene age. Current reserves of oil shales are approximately 2,220 million tons (total reserve) and mainly are located in Himmetoglu, Seyitomer, Beypazari, and Hatildag deposits. Some petrological, geochemical, Fisher Assay, and fluidized combustion tests are performed for these oil shale fields, and it was concluded that Himmetoglu oil shale is the most appro...
