Abstract :Edirne Province is located in the Thrace part of Marmara Region and intensive agricultural activities are conducted around the city, because of contained rich soil and much freshwater resources. In this study, water quality of Sultanköy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(İpsala District);, Altınyazı insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Uzunköprü District);, Süloğlu insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Süloğlu District);, and Kadıköy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Keşan District); Dam Lakes, which were constructed by DSİ insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(State Water Works); in order to provide irrigation water insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sultanköy and Altınyazı); and drinking water insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Süloğlu and Kadıköy); 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 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(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 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(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; Sultanköy > Altınyazı > Kadıköy > Süloğlu in general. According to the results of CA, 3 statistically significant clusters were formed, which were corresponded to Süloğlu Dam Lake insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cluster 1);; Kadıköy and Altınyazı Dam Lakes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cluster 2);; Sultanköy Dam Lake insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cluster 3);.
Keywords : Sultanköy, Altınyazı, Süloğlu, Kadıköy, Dam lakes, water quality, cluster analysis
