Abstract
As a result o f unplanned groundwater use, the effects o f The Salt Lake on the fresh water sources have increased. This case will associate with significant environment problems around the Salt Lake and its environments. In this study, the data have been evaluated for the groundwater samples taken from Aksaray which is one o f the agricultural areas o f Turkey and bounded o f south and east shores o f the Salt Lake. Totally 40 groundwater samples including 3 spring and 37 well were sampled from the region. The physical and chemical parameters o f the water quality were investigated bi monthly during one year. The maps of water quality were prepared by using the Geographic Information System (GIS) to evaluate well effectively the data o f the groundwater. The groundwaters generally have medium salinity hazard rate and a low sodium (alkali) hazard rate in terms o f irrigation water use according to the USA Salinity Laboratory Irrigation Water Classification Diagram. While the increase o f the salinity have showed the presence of enters o f the saline water in the south and the south-east shores o f The Salt Lake, it have decreased the quality o f fresh waters with respect to the drinking and the use water.
