ABSTRACT
Felent Stream is one of the most significant branches of Porsuk Stream (sub-basin of Sakarya River). It is affected by wastes of industrial, agricultural and thermal springs of Kütahya Province. In this research, spatio- temporal distributions of sulphate (SO4) levels in water of Felent Stream were investigated. For this purpose, 7 stations including up-mid-downstream locations and lentic – lotic components were selected. Water samples were collected in wet and dry seasons of 2022. Also, Cluster Analysis (CA) was applied to detected data in order to classify the stations in terms of SO4 contents. According to detected data, SO4 levels were recorded between 65 – 146 ppm in the wet season, while they were found between 71 – 171 ppm in the dry season. As a result of
applied CA, 2 statistically significant clusters were formed named as "Relatively more contaminated zone" and "Relatively less contaminated zone".
