TI  - EVALUATION OF ISTANBUL’S DRINKING AND CITY WATER ANALYSIS IN 2017
AB  - Istanbul is a city of 16 million, accounting for almost fifth of the population of Turkey, therefore providing quality drinking and use water is vital. To evaluate the results of drinking and city water analysis in Istanbul in 2017. This is a descriptive study using retrospective data. Inspection monitoring and control monitoring samples collected 748 monitoring points from 36 water plants around Istanbul in addition to Residual Chlorine measurement samples from 548 points. These samples were analyzed in Istanbul Public Health Reference Laboratories (HSL). Data analysis was carried in SPSS 21.0, statistical analysis were described as percentage, mean, standard deviation. Statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05 with 95% confidence interval. Mean pH level in İstanbul’s drinking and usage water was 6.95±0.14 (min: 6,62-max:7,28); mean Coliform Bacteria levels were 17.09±99.47 (min:0.00-622.00) /100 ml; mean conductivity was 376.22±78.52 (min: 282.06-max:613.73) μS/cm; mean Escherichia coli per. 3.13±18.98 (min:0,00-max:118.60); mean iron levels were 34.39±18.81 (min:6,79-max:103.70) μg/L. 90.2% of inspection monitoring samples, 96.9% of control monitoring samples and 99.5% of residual chlorine analysis were in acceptable levels. Water quality analysis in Turkey is done by various organizations and multiple branches of government under national and international regulations. Monitoring and analysis procedures are independent of each other and currently no integrated monitoring strategies is at place, although several actions on this front has started. An integrated system of data collection and analysis between all stakeholders are needed to increase time and workload efficiency in water quality evaluation.
