Elhatip, Hatim13.07.20192019-07-1613.07.20192019-07-1620030943-0105https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12451/2979Shallow submarine springs along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey discharge most available groundwater via highly developed karstic (buried channels) systems towards the Mediterranean Sea before interception for domestic and agricultural uses. This phenomenon takes place in Ovac1k-Silifke village, one of the most intensive touristic places on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. This study reports on the hydrochemical tests and dye-tracing techniques that were used to measure the amount of water discharge along the Ovac1k coastline. Comparison of the electrical conductivity (EC) of the karst springs, which have a background concentration of 500 µS/cm, with the EC of the coastal and submarine discharges is an important tool for identifying the percentage of available freshwater from the shallow submarine springs.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDischargeHydrochemical TechniquesShallow Submarine SpringTurkeyArticle436714719N/A
