“…But there are studies evaluating IWC counts conducted in important wetlands in Turkey and around the world and the anthropogenic factors on the areas. (Yarar et al, 1996;Yavuz & Boyla 2013;Çağlayan et al, 2005;Suseven et al, 2006;Onmuş, 2007;Arslangündoğdu, 2009;Akarsu & Balkız, 2010;Erciyas Yavuz & Kartal, 2012;Özkoç et al, 2019;Nilsson, 2020;Ulusoy & Bulut, 2020;Nilsson & Hermansson, 2021). In the two-year IWC census, 26975 individuals from 14 species and 13158 individuals from 19 species were counted, respectively, in the Obruk Dam Lake, which has a surface area of 5021 hectares (Ulusoy & Bulut, 2020).…”

In the study, International Waterbird Census (IWC) conducted in 2021 in wetlands with different habitat characteristics around the Dardanelles were evaluated. 3086 individuals belonging to 30 waterbird species were counted in Kavak Delta, 31 species and 1150 individuals in Çardak Lagoon, 22 species and 3906 individuals in Gökçeada Salt Lake, 11 species and 289 individuals in Suvla Salt Lake and 8 species and 84 individuals in Uzunhızırlı Pond. The highest species diversity (Shannon-Wiener Indices, H: 2,473) and the highest species richness (Margalef Index, M: 4,257) were calculated in the Çardak Lagoon. As the number of habitats in the wetland increased, the number of species also increased (p<0.0001). As a result, the data obtained revealed the importance of the wetlands for the winter visitor waterbirds, and pioneering data were presented for the sustainability of the wetlands in future studies. ÖZ Yapılan çalışmada, Çanakkale Boğazı çevresinde farklı habitat özelliklerini barındıran sulak alanlarda 2021 yılında yapılan kış ortası su kuşu sayımları değerlendirilmiştir. Farklı sulak alanların barındırdığı habitat sayısı ve kapladığı alanlar ile su kuşu tür sayısı ve toplam birey sayıları karşılaştırılmıştır. Kavak Deltası'nda 30 su kuşu türüne ait 3086 birey, Çardak Lagünü'ünde 31 tür ve 1150 birey, Gökçeada Tuz Gölü'nde 22 tür ve 3906 birey, Suvla Tuz Gölü'nde 11 tür ve 289 birey ve Uzunhızırlı Göleti'nde 8 tür ve 84 birey sayılmıştır. En yüksek tür çeşitliliği (Shannon-Wiener İndeksleri, H´: 2,473) ve en yüksek tür zenginliği (Margalef İndeksi, M: 4,257) Çardak Lagünü'nde hesaplanmıştır. Sulak alanda bulunan habitat sayısı arttıkça tür sayısı da artmıştır (p<0,0001). Sonuç olarak elde edilen veriler kapsamında araştırmanın yapıldığı sulak alanların kış ziyaretçisi su kuşları için önemleri ortaya konmuş ve ileri yıllarda yapılacak çalışmalarda sulak alanlarının sürdürülebilirliğinin takibi için öncü veriler sunulmuştur.

One of the most basic human needs is water and the other is food. Water is also needed to create all the nutrients required for nutrition. Therefore, water is the basic element of life. While the presence of underground mines and oil is an indicator of the wealth of a country, the existence of water resources is now considered in this group, since the value of water is understood today. A hundred years ago, the existing water availability in a country was a direct indicator of the water wealth of that country. However, as a result of the increase in industrialization and the rapid pollution of water resources, it has become a necessity to evaluate water not only in terms of quantity but also in terms of quality. Because the unit water value of a source is related to how much different purposes that source can be used for. The more a water resource can be used for many purposes, the more valuable it is. Sometimes one unit of very clean water is more valuable than a hundred units of dirty water. For this reason, the presence of a country's water resources should be evaluated not only in terms of quantity but also in terms of quality. In this study, the total surface waters as rivers and lakes and underground waters of Turkey were examined in terms of quantity and quality on a basin basis, and comments were made about the basin water potentials. Although the amount of water in 25 water basins in Turkey does not show a significant change over time, a serious pollution draws attention in terms of quality, especially in the last 50 years. The change in the amount of water in the basin mostly manifests itself in the form of a decrease in the water amount of river, lake and groundwater. This process is a situation that arises with the effect of global warming and climate change, which is a global problem that concerns the whole world. However, pollution in water resources and making the water resource unusable are all related to the fact that the regulations on the protection of water are not adequately implemented and people do not act consciously. In other words, although quantitative reduction is a global problem, the quality problem is related to the polluting factors in the region of that resource. In the country with a very high population growth rate, the decrease in the per capita water potential and the rapid increase in the pollution in the existing resources cause the amount of usable water resources to decrease gradually. In this study, attention was drawn to point and diffuse pollution on the basis of water presence and water source on the basis of basin, and the evaluation of Turkey's water resources in terms of quantity and quality was made.
