Özet

This study measured groundwater depths over the 2010 water year (from October 1, 2009 to September 30, 2010) and groundwater salinity in July 2010, when irrigation activities were most intense. Geostatistical methods were used to model variations in five groundwater properties (the highest groundwater depth (HGD), the lowest groundwater depth (LGD), groundwater depth in July (GDJ), groundwater elevation in July (GEJ), and groundwater salinity in July (GSJ), the month with the most intensive irrigation). Moreover, areas with drainage and salinity problems were determined with groundwater depths and salinity values using ordinary kriging and indicator kriging methods.
