Abstract :The purpose of this study was to characterize the drinking water resources of Kocaeli Province and classify them according to water quality. For this purpose, the raw water samples were collected and analyzed during the two seasons from the streams feeding Yuvacık Dam Lake, which meets about 90% of the drinking water requirement of Kocaeli Province, and ground sources of drinking water. The characterization of these sources, water quality classes of dam basin were determined by evaluating the analysis results. Considering the related regulations, in terms of pH, conductivity, chemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, ammonium nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, orthophosphorus phosphorus, fluoride, total Kjeldahl-nitrogen, total phosphorus, manganese, and selenium parameters, drinking water resources are in the Class I insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AA); water quality class.
