Assessment and Comparison of Commonly Used Eutrophication Indexes

Öz:

Eutrophication is a phenomenon that causes the degradation of water quality which results in negative impacts on living and non-living environment of any water body. Therefore, monitoring, evaluation and classification of water quality are the utmost important issue for policy makers and regional institutions/organizations in order to assess the quality and sustainable use of water bodies and to take appropriate measures. Regional conventions such as the Helsinki Convention, Oslo-Paris Convention, Barcelona Convention – Programme for the Assessment and Control of Marine Pollution in the Mediterranean, Strategic Action Programme and Integrated Coastal Zone Management as well as legislative instruments such as the Water Framework Directive, Marine Strategy Framework Directive, Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive and Nitrates Directive in Europe; the Clean Water Act, Water Quality Act, National Environmental Policy and Coastal Zone Management Act issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency addresses the importance of monitoring for eutrophication. The eutrophication indexes have been developed in line with regional requirements using specific data sets of state variables and parameters, representative of a location. In this study, we reviewed commonly used eutrophication indexes within the areas applied, parameters, methods and classification scales and presented the trophic status equivalences between the indexes. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive examination of eutrophication indexes to researchers in trophic status assessment of any water body.

Bölgesel gereklilikler doğrultusunda ötrofikasyon indeksleri, bir bölgeyi temsil eden belirli durum değişkenleri ve parametrelerden oluşan veri setleri kullanılarak geliştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, dünya çapında yaygın olarak kullanılan ötrofikasyon indeksleri uygulama alanları, parametreleri, yöntemleri ve sınıflandırma ölçeklerine göre incelenmiş ve indekslerin trofik durum eşdeğerleri ortaya konmuştur. Bu çalışma, bir su kütlesinin trofik durum değerlendirmesinde araştırmacılara ötrofikasyon indeksleri ile ilgili kapsamlı bir inceleme sunmak amacıyla yapılmıştır.
