This study was carried out to assess the groundwater pollution in the northern Develi Closed Basin by using the heavy metal pollution index (HPI). Samples from 10 wells and 5 springs were collected in dry and wet seasons and concentrations of Pb, Zn, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Cd, As and B were determined. In both seasons, for more than half of the samples, As, B and Fe concentrations exceeded the Turkish drinking water guideline values. Due to the occurrence of these metals in high concentrations in some samples HPI values are up to 1740. The source of these metals is geogenic and attributed to the interaction of these waters with highly altered volcanic and pyroclastic rocks. The overall HPI for wet and dry periods are reported as 360 and 440, respectively. Accordingly, the pollution level in the groundwater of this area is unacceptable.
本研究旨在利用重金属污染指数（HPI）评估德韦利北部封闭流域的地下水污染情况。在旱季和雨季采集了10口井和5处泉水的样本，并测定了铅、锌、铬、锰、铁、铜、镉、砷和硼的浓度。在两个季节中，超过一半的样本中，砷、硼和铁的浓度超过了土耳其饮用水指导值。由于某些样本中这些金属的浓度较高，HPI值高达1740。这些金属的来源是地质成因的，归因于这些水与高度蚀变的火山岩和火山碎屑岩的相互作用。雨季和旱季的总体HPI分别报告为360和440。因此，该地区地下水的污染水平是不可接受的。
