| Özet |
| Groundwaters are continuously polluted by various factors, including industry, excessive fertilizer, and pesticide use. In this study, ten heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Cd, Ni, Al, and As) were analyzed in groundwater samples collected from Bafra Plain, and groundwater quality was assessed through heavy metal pollution index (HPI), heavy metal evaluation index (HEI) and degree of contamination (Cdeg) indices. Geostatistical analyses and ordinary kriging methods were used to determine the spatial distribution of heavy metals and pollution indices. The present findings revealed that Al, As, Fe, and Mn concentrations in some sections of the study area were above the limits set for drinking waters. In terms of pollution indices, 21.97% of the study were found to be highly polluted with HPI, 16.27% with HEI, and 36.08% with Cdeg. Geostatistical analyses revealed that Al, Mn, HPI, HEI, and Cdeg exhibited … |
