The monitoring study was performedmonthly in three sampling sites between September 2015 and August 2016. A total of 21physicochemical parameters and 7 heavy metal levels were evaluated on the seasonal, andannual. Then, these values have been classified according to the WHO and Turkey’s WaterQuality Management Regulation criteria. The Eğence Pond water is generally suitable foraquatic organisms and irrigation. However, the high water temperatures detected duringthe autumn season can pose a threat to living sensitive aquatic organisms. In this study,water temperature, sulphite, nitrate and pH changes do not a very dangerous situation.The sources of pollution threatening this Pond can be primarily the climate, and thefertilizers used in agricultural activities around the Eğlence pond.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRESEARCH10.28955/alinterizbd.33281229319725373222587-2249
