SEASONAL VARIATION OF DRAINAGE WATER CHARACTERISTICS AND POSSIBILITY OF THE USE OF DRAINAGE WATER FOR IRRIGATION PURPOSES IN BAFRA PLAIN
Abstract :
This study analyzed the seasonal variation of chemical characteristics of water collected from the drainage channels in Bafra Plain Right Bank Irrigation area. For this purpose, water samples were collected monthly from 7 different drainage channels during the periods between May 2005 and April 2006, and then EC, pH, Na, Ca, K, Mg, CO3, HCO3, and CL were analyzed by using these samples. Based on the results of chemical analysis, Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) and Residual Sodium Carbonate Concentrations (RSC) values were determined. Research results showed that salinity values in drainage channels decreased in summer season due to the dilution effect of mixing irrigation water into the channels, while it increased due to precipitation during winter. High salinity values of drainage water in winter season indicated that rain in winter washed off salinity from the land. Drainage water class in summer season was high salt- low sodium (C3S1) while that in winter was very high salt- low sodium (C4S1) and very high salt-medium sodium water (C4S2).
