Özet
Freshwater contamination by macro elements because of agrogenic—domestic discharges and threatening almost all the aquatic habitats is a significant global problem today. Çorlu Stream is one of the main components of the Ergene River Basin (sub-basin of Meriç River Watershed). It is also the fluvial ecosystem known to be exposed to the most anthropogenic pressure in the Thrace Region of Türkiye, where has a significant agricultural production potential. In this study, levels of Na, Mg, Ca and K in the water of upstream (Ç1), midstream (Ç2) and downstream (Ç3) of Çorlu Stream were investigated and water qualities were assessed in terms of agricultural use by using Magnesium Rate (MR), Sodium Absorption Rate (SAR), Kelly Index (KI) and Sodium Percentage (Na%). The results indicated that the mean accumulation order of investigated macro elements in water of Çorlu Stream were as follows: Na (183.53 ppm) > K (8.35 ppm) > Mg (6.99 ppm) > Ca (6.13 ppm). The results also showed that the order of locations in terms of irrigation water qualities were as follows: Ç1 > Ç2 > Ç3. The results of applied indices indicated that all of the locations selected on Çorlu Stream were recorded as not suitable for agricultural use. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
