Conference Object Evidence for Sea Water Intrusion in Karstic Aquifer of Karaburun Peninsula, Nw Turkey(International Water Association, 2017) Baba, Alper; Gündüz, Orhan; Şimşek, Celalettin; Elçi, Alper; Murathan, Alim; Sözbilir, HasanKarstic aquifers are considered to be significant sources of groundwater and are mostly under threat due to sea water intrusion in many parts of the world. Seawater intrusion is also a common problem on karstic aquifers of Karaburun Peninsula in north of Mediterranean Region. The hydrogeology of Karaburun Peninsula is fairly complex and is mostly characterized by highly permeable karstic formations with significant water storage in an otherwise water scarce area. The karstic aquifers of the region were recently found to be under severe salt water intrusion, which significantly altered the position of fresh water/sea water interface as a result of excessive pumping and fault zones controlling the karstic network.Conference Object Investigation of Groundwater Recharges Mechanism in Alasehir Plain: From Physical Characterization To Modelling(International Water Association, 2017) Şimşek, Celalettin; Baba, Alper; Aksoy, Niyazi; Demirkıran, Zülfü; Hasözbek, Altuğ; Tayfur, Gökmen; Kumanlıoğlu, Ahmet; Durukan, Seda; Demirkesen, Ali Can; Murathan, Alim; Çağıran, Ömer; Akdeğirmen, Özgün; Tonkul, SerhatCharacteristics of aquifer that allows the flow of groundwater, recharge and discharge mechanism effect the available groundwater potential. In order to determine the available potential of groundwater, the budget components are the most important parameters. In general, different analogical methods are applied in different countries, instead of using measurable data. Determination of the groundwater recharge is the most difficult parameter to be measured among the hydrological budget parameters. In general, the analogical methods are insufficient to determine the groundwater recharge rate. Precipitation, evaporation-transportation and runoff can be measured from the surface meteorological station. However, estimation of groundwater recharge cannot be measured directly. At the moment of climate change, visualization of the spatial distribution of the groundwater recharge estimation and mapping are needed. Therefore, improvements of easy groundwater recharge techniques are very important tools for groundwater basins to develop the water management planning.
