Abstract

The paper reports a study of the surface and ground water in Solaklı Basin, Trabzon, from an assessment of 33 sampling points. Many of the parameters analysed are only marginally acceptable as potable water, even though the samples were collected during the wet season. The highest concentrations of contaminants were found downstream of the centres of population. The results indicate regular monitoring is required and some measures should be taken to protect the limited resources.

Résumé

L’article présente une étude des eaux de surface et des eaux souterraines dans le bassin de Solakli, dans la région de Trabzon, à partir d’analyses de 33 points d’échantillonnage. La plupart des paramètres analysés se sont révélés seulement marginalement acceptables pour de l’eau potable, alors même que les échantillons ont été prélevés au cours de la saison des pluies. Les plus fortes concentrations de contaminants ont été trouvées en aval des zones habitées. Les résultats indiquent qu’une surveillance régulière est nécessaire et que certaines mesures doivent être prises pour protéger cette ressource limitée.
