ABSTRACT
The surface waters must be monitored for contamination and pollution determination in drinking water watersheds. There are various chemical and biologic parameters to determine the water quality. The land use has impact on water quality. In Finland watersheds, leaching from peatland areas to surface waters is very common. In north Turkey surface water have not seen peatland effect and acidity problems, but over agricultural or industrial activities and land uses can be negative effect to water quality differ from acidity. The main objective of the study is to determine the water quality in two different basins seasonally and spatially. Secondary objective is estimating the role of land use in the water quality of these water basins.
