Abstract
This study describes the water quality assessment of Özen Spring in the Central Anatolia of Turkey. The mean values of overall water quality parameters results have been observed as pH (7.48), conductivity (114.7 μS/cm), turbidity (6.56 NTU), dissolved oxygen (9.15 mg/L), oxygen saturation (95.31 %), biochemical oxygen demand (1.60 mg/L), nitrate (2.93 mg/L), nitrite (0.03 mg/L), orto-phosphate (0.14 mg/L), sulfate (3.35 mg/L) and chloride (8.31 mg/L) in Özen Spring. The obtained results were compared in terms of national limit values and international and standart values.
