Investigation Of Güllük (Muğla) Wetland By Stable Isotopes (Δ18o, Δd), Melis A. Somay
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
Wetlands play an important role in the hydrologic cycle. This investigation was completed to determine the origin of waters and recharge-discharge areas using stable isotopes (δ18O and δD) which are fingerprints of the water in Güllük (Muğla) wetland. This area is important both economically and in terms of aquaculture environment in Turkey. Sample locations were selected from not only wetlands but also the possible recharge area that consists of karstic springs and streams. EC (Electrical Conductivity) of the waters range between 5080-41000 µS/cm, except streams. δ18O and δD contents of the samples ranged from -6.00‰ to 0.50‰ and from -29.1‰ …
