Abstract :Gala Lake National Park is one of the most important wetland ecosystems not only for Turkey but also for the globe. But as similar to many wet lands, Gala Lake is under effect of an intensive organic and inorganic pollution originated from agricultural activities conducted around the lake and from industrial discharges by means of Ergene River. The aim of this study was to assess the water quality of Gala Lake and Irrigation Canal by investigating some lymnological parameters insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(temperature, oxygen, pH, conductivity, turbidity, nitrite, nitrate, ammonium, sulfate, phosphate, chloride, fluoride, COD, TOC and BOD); and to apply the Geographic Information System insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GIS); in order to make a visual explanation by presenting distribution maps of investigated parameters. According to results of the present study, nitrogen and phosphorus compounds of the system were in quite high levels and nitrite nitrogen was found to be the highest risk factor in water of Gala Lake and Irrigation Canal.
Keywords : Gala lake, water quality, geographic information system
