In recent years, Turkey has turned its attention to alternative energy sources rather than fossil fuels. The Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey has steep mountains with hilly topography and has large potential in terms of energy production with run‐of‐the‐river hydropower plants (RHPPs). In this study, the effects of two RHPPs on some water quality parameters were examined in the Solaklı stream watershed. This research was conducted over the course of 12 months (January–December 2014). In total, 12 sampling points were selected and various water quality parameters, such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, total suspended solids, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solid, chloride and salinity, were monitered at each point. Statistically, significant changes occured in water quality parameters such as total suspended solids, pH and temperature. In particular, total suspended solids ranged from 10 to 440 mg/L.These results suggest that the RHPP negatively effect water quality and quantity in the main stream in both the operational and constructional phases.

RHPPs, which are located in different places, also have a significant impact on the quality of water.…”

Rivers are important systems which provide water to fulfill human needs. However, excessive human uses over the years have led to deterioration in quality of river causing, causing health problems from contaminated water. This study focuses on the application of statistical techniques, Multiple Linear Regression model and MANOVA to assess health impacts due to pollution in Cauvery river stretch in Srirangapatna. In this study, using Multiple Linear Regression, it is found that health impact level is 60.8% dependent on water quality parameters of BOD, COD, TDS, TC and FC.

2017). Estudio piloto de la toxicidad de los sedimentos del río Pasto en el tramo La Playita-Puente La Carolina, asociada al uso de pesticidas. Bogotá, 14(1), 194-210. DOI: org/xx/xxxxx/reds.xxxx. ResumenEl objetivo del presente estudio piloto fue analizar la toxicidad de los sedimentos del río Pasto en el tramo La Playita-Puente La Carolina en la cuenca alta, una zona con importante actividad agropecuaria donde el agua tiene múltiples usos, utilizando bacterias bioluminiscentes Vibrio fischeri como bioindicadores de toxicidad. El estudio se basó en la hipótesis de que ciertos microcontaminantes derivados del uso pesticidas en la zona, son transportados entre las matrices aguas/sedimentos y son los responsables de los niveles de toxicidad hallados. Los resultados señalan niveles variables de toxicidad y posiblemente el fenómeno predominante sea el transporte de pesticidas o sus metabolitos en la masa de agua. Además, se infiere que posiblemente la concentración de plaguicidas no sea la principal causa de los niveles de toxicidad hallados y probablemente podrían asociarse a otras sustancias derivadas del vertimiento de aguas residuales y lixiviados. AbstractA screening toxicity was carried out at sediments of the Pasto River on the stretch La Playita-Puente La Carolina at its upper basin. This is meaningful farming area where water has multiple uses. For this 195 purpose, was determined the acute toxicity from sediments by using the photo-luminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri. The hypothesis of the study was that any microcontaminants derived from pesticides uses on the stretch are transported between water/sediments matrix and are responsible for the levels of toxicity found. Varying levels of toxicity were found and possibly the predominant phenomenon is the transport of pesticides or their metabolites in the body of water. In addition, it is inferred that the concentration of pesticides may not be the main cause of the levels of toxicity found and could be associated with other substances derived from the dumping of waste water and leachate.
