Özet
Reservoirs are significant lacustrine freshwater habitats built for various purposes such as drinking water supply, irrigation and flood protection. However, various factors such as contamination, sedimentation and excessive use of waters may cause them to be useless. Çokal Dam Lake is one of the most significant reservoirs located in the Marmara Region of Türkiye. It was built on the Kocadere Stream for irrigation and drinking water supply in the Tekirdağ Province. In the current research, we aimed to determine the accumulation levels of potentially hazardous elements (PHEs) in water of this significant dam lake watershed. Water samples were collected from the Çokal Reservoir (ÇDL1, ÇDL2), Aksakal (AS) and Çayırlar (ÇS) Streams that are feeding the reservoir and the Kocadere (KS) Stream before it falls into the Saros Bay in the rainy season of 2020. According to the data obtained as a result of our study, the average levels of investigated PHEs were recorded as follows: 900 ppb for B, 0.84 ppb for Cr, 52 ppb for Mn, 6.16 ppb for Ni, 1.46 ppb for Cu, 7.72 ppb for Zn, 4.34 ppb for As, 1.88 ppb for Se, 0.19 ppb for Cd and 0.55 ppb for Pb. As a result of applied Cluster Analysis (CA), three clusters were composed named as “relatively more contaminated zone—C1 (KS)”, “relatively moderate contaminated zone—C2 (ÇS)” and “relatively less contaminated zone—C3 (ÇDL1, ÇDL2 and AS)”. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
