Abstract
In this study, Kartalkaya Dam was selected as a case study to discuss the theoretical framework of water protection planning. Kartalkaya Dam is the only surface drinking water resource for Gaziantep Province. However, its water quality is at risk of deteriorating due to pollutant activities in the basin. Within this study, it was started with basin characterization and water quality assessment. A coupled model was developed to simulate quality for alternative future scenarios. Simulated results showed that Kartalkaya dam will be mesotrophic in case of providing 50% reduction in TN and 25% reduction in TP. Based on specified rates, pollution reduction measures were suggested. As a result of cost-benefit analysis, it is concluded that recommended measures are feasible.
