Abstract

The aim of the study is to determine the change of groundwater quality in rural areas in rainy and dry periods with respect to physicochemical parameters. pH, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, nitrate, sulfate, phosphate hardness, chloride, turbidity and color parameters were investigated. The water quality index (WQI) is widely used for detecting and evaluating water pollution. Water quality index was determined to be 35 and 32 in rainy and dry periods for drinking water. It was also calculated to be 37 for the rainy and dry periods according to the irrigation water limit values. As a result, since WQI
