Abstract
In this study, some physical and chemical properties of Han Stream (Malatya) in relation to water quality was investigated. For this purpose water samples were collected at monthly for eight months interval between December 2013-November 2014 (June- September is dry period). Water temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen and flow rate were measured directly in study area whilst chemical analysis such as sulfate, silica, nitrite, nitrate, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, acide capacity and chemical oxygen demand were carried out in water quality laboratory by means of cell test through a spectrophotometer. Total hardness, salinity and organic matter were determined in accordance with methods in APHA (1985). According to the Water Pollution Control Regulation for Inland Water Resources, study results showed that Han Stream should be classified as class I (high quality water) in terms of all parameters except that total phosphorus values (II/III class, less polluted).
