Abstract :
The drinking water requirement of Çünür, Deregüme, Kayı, Yakaören, Sav, Yazısöğüt, Aliköy, Büyük Hacılar, Küçük Hacılar villages in the Isparta plain recharge area are provided from wells and springs. In recent years, isotope geochemical methods are widely used in hydrogeological and hydrogeochemical studies to get more accurate results. In this study, hydrogeochemical and isotope geochemical analyses were conducted on the samples taken from the drilled wells and springs in the Isparta Plain. The origin of the water, the recharge elevation and residence time in aquifers were determined, using δ18O, δD and 3H isotope analysis. δ18O and δD isotope ratios of water plot along the continental meteoric water line, suggesting atmospheric waters. It can be concluded from the the 18O-3H diagram that the waters in the study area is generally fed from a high elevation. In the Cl-3H and EC-3H diagrams, the waters in the study area are divided into three groups: (i) deep circulation waters with low 3H contents (0,7-1 TU), (ii) shallow or a mixing waters with 3H contents varying between 5,4 to 6,7 TU, and (iii) shallow recharge recent waters with high 3H contents (4.9 to 9.4 TU).
