In this study, maintained in 2009-2010, the heavy metal accumulation has been examined seasonally within the time span of a year. At the end of the reseach it was concluded that the heavy metal(Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) accumulations in the samples of water and sediment show significant differences statistically between the seasons(p< 0,05). The heavy metal measurement values in the water and sediment samples have been found to be under the level of the acceptable limits.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHeavy metalKonyaSuğla LakeWaterSedimentAğır metalSuğla GölüSuTortuArticle
