In this study, water quality of Sultankoy (Ipsala District), Altinyazi (Uzunkopru District), Suloglu (Suloglu District), and Kadikoy (Kesan District) Dam Lakes, which were constructed by DSI (State Water Works) in order to provide irrigation water (Sultankoy and Altinyazi) and drinking water (Suloglu and Kadikoy) to the places where they are located on, were investigated. For this purpose, water samples were collected from the output locations of all the reservoirs in spring season of 2016. Total of 13 physiochemical water quality parameters (pH, conductivity, TDS, salinity, turbidity, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, sulfate, chemical oxygen demand, total carbon, total inorganic carbon and total organic carbon) were measured. Also Cluster Analysis (CA) was applied to detected data in order to classify the reservoirs in terms of contamination levels. According to detected data, pollution levels of the investigated dam lakes as follows; Sultankoy > Altinyazi > Kadikoy > Suloglu in general. According to the results of CA, 3 statistically significant clusters were formed, which were corresponded to Suloglu Dam Lake (Cluster 1); Kadikoy and Altinyazi Dam Lakes (Cluster 2); Sultankoy Dam Lake (Cluster 3).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSultankoyAltinyaziSulogluKadikoyDam LakesWater QualityCluster AnalysisRiverDesignJapanBasinArticle354743750N/AWOS:000419844100014
