Abstract: In the culturel production aquaculture, first physical and chemical have suitable for flow owner a water source and ecological factor minimal level effection an appropriate to occupy a place. In this research Adiyaman, Diyarbakir, Gaziantep, Kilis and Sanliurfa cities were 25 L/sn and have more flow stream, river and source water for aquaculture production water source and in order to production appropriate to occupt a place.

INTRODUCTION

Humanbeings look for new sources of food because world population is ever increasing. Fish and other aquatic products are among these food sources because of the proteins they contain. In order to make use of natural resources in the best possible way today, new detailed were needed and basic information to be obtained from researches about these resources (Yuksel and Celayir, 2010).

The idea of consuming aquatic products of course, brings with it the idea of breeding them. Water and soil qualities and other environmental characteristics play an important role especially at the stage of planning in culture fish breeding. Because a well-planned and well-run fish breeding farm encourages the establishment of other farms. For this reason, it is essential that the water source qualities and the characteristics of the place the fish breeding facility is intended to be built are investigated thoroughly (Atay, 1990; Celikkkale, 1994; Ekingen, 1983; Kurum et al., 1998).

The waters used in aquaculture are the most suitable ones of springs, lakes and underground waters. Spring waters usually are poor in oxygen and contain harmful gases as well. They don’t carry parasites and pathogens and aren’t contaminated by rain water and floods. Although, the oxygen content of streams are high, they may contain residues of agricultural pesticides if they carry flood waters. If streams are to be used in breeding, the water course from the spring upto the breeding facility must be examined closely. It must be known if contaminant water from residences or factories are mixed with it. Besides, the flowrates of the stream at its highest and lowest throughout the year and how long it flows turbid must be known. The structural characteristics of the landscape the stream is flowing through, the conditions of the secondary streams merging into it, the physical and chemical features of the water and the food content of the water are also very important (Akyurt, 1979; Alpbaz and Hossucu, 1996; Claude, 1982; Celikkale, 1994; Ozdemir and Sunlu, 1996; Svobodova et al., 1993; Tuncay, 1994; Yaramaz, 1992).

The place of the breeding facility must be chosen very carefully. If a fish breeding facility is to be built, it either must have enough water resources to meet the demands or it must be built close to a water source. It must include natural or man made dikes or drainage channels against floods. The grounds must be large enough and mustn’t be exposed to the winds. There must be no big rocks, stones and tree stubs. There must be a natural slope on the grounds which facilitates water’s flow towards the facilities. The facilities must be in a place which makes its transportation to markets easy and cheap (Atay, 1990; Celikkkale, 1994; Ekingen, 1983; Kurum et al., 1998).

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The research was conducted in the form of determining the water sources (brooks, streams, rivers and spring waters) with 25 L/sn and higher flowrates in Adiyaman, Diyarbakir, Gaziantep, Kilis and Sanliurfa and their villages and counties. Detailed information were obtained from the government institutions which had done researches about water resources in these places, this information was written down and field studies were planned. In the field studies and technical surveys, the physical and chemical features (turbidity, colour, water heat, pH, conductivity, hardness, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, iron, oxygen, carbondioxide and free chlorine concentration values) were examined.

Turbidity, colour and smell were sensory evaluated; water heat was measured with a digital thermometre; pH, conductivity and oxygen was measured with a Hanna digital indicator and chemical measurements (hardness, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, iron, free chlorine, carbondioxide) were done with a Hanna-C 200 field photometer and a DR-2010 field spectrophotometer by using water analysis criteria (APHA, 1985).

The physical and chemical values and water analyses data sheets of the water resources in the cities where this study was conducted are shown in Table 1-5.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

It was determined that 13 out of 19 water sources in Adiyaman city were suitable for culture fish breeding according to the results of field surveys and technical examinations (Table 1). It was determined that 17 out of 19 water sources in Gaziantep city might be suitable for culture fish breeding and 3 of them might be risky because of the contamination by waste water from nearby residences and agricultural fields and the results are shown in Table 2.

It was determined that 2 out of 4 water sources in Kilis city might be suitable for culture fish breeding and the remaining 2 might be risky because of the contamination by waste water from both nearby residences and agricultural fields and because their flowrates in summer months drop drastically leading even to total drying-up (Table 3).

It was determined that 6 out of 11 water sources in Sanliurfa city might be suitable for culture fish breeding and the remaining 5 were not suitable since their flowrates were considerably low (Table 4).

It was determined that 13 out of 17 water sources in Diyarbakir city might be suitable for culture fish breeding and the remaining 4 might be risky because of the contamination by waste water from both nearby residences and agricultural fields and because their flowrates in summer months drop drastically leading even to total drying-up (Table 5).

CONCLUSION

Direct results which were obtained as a result of the research we did at the water resources in the cities where the research was conducted and literature scan were provided since no studies had been done on these water resources.
