dc.description.abstractThe aim of the present work is to determine the geochemical processes that control the nature of the groundwater and assess the quality of water for drinking and public health purposes. Surface and groundwater samples of Kutahya plain were analyzed for their physio-chemical and environmental isotope properties. The relative concentrations of the water ions were found to occur in the order of Ca2+>Mg2+>(K+ + Na+) and HCO3->SO42->CI-. Piper diagram shows that Ca-Mg/Mg-Ca-HCO3 was the dominant water types. Waters in the area were super -saturated with respect to carbonates. However, they were under -saturated with respect to sulphate minerals. The groundwaters had a mean isotopic composition of -67.32 delta H-2 and- 9.72 delta O-18 and were comparatively lower than surface waters -64.64 delta H-2 and 9.25 delta O-18. Tritium activities in groundwater from the wells ranged from 1.00 to 8.38 TU with a mean value of 4.37 TU. The impact of agricultural practices and poor sanitation conditions is indicated by the positive correlation between K+ - NO3-, K+- NO2- and HCO3- - Cl- ions as well as Na+ and Mg2+ ions with Salon. The groundwater quality of Kutahya plain is influenced by various natural and anthropogenic factors. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
