Abstract: This study aimed at revealing the physical, chemical properties and the way how spring wateris formed in nature in Seydikemer District. The springs exist in the district area was examinedthrough fieldwork, and the relationship between the structure and spring was determined.Later, 0.5 lt. samples were collected from the water sources which have more than 10 lt./sec.flow. The physical and chemical properties of collected samples were analyzed in thelaboratory.Water sources in this region had a karstic and karstic fault spring form. Springs of this zoneappear in the ophialite- calcerious contact zones or contact zones which were cut by the faultareas. The flow of the springs have been varying between 10lt./sec. and 5m3/sec.. It was seenthat all springs were colorless, tasteless, unscented and their values were such as, waterhardness 15-36 FS, 195-390 salt in total, conductivity 260-520, pH 7.00-7.70. However,Karacasu spring differs from others because of its higher values as in the following, hardness(36 FSº), conductivity (520 mioromesh/cm²), salt in total (390) and organic material inside(1.4 Mg/L). It was not seen any noxious substance such as, nitrite, nitrate and phosphate.In conclusion, we found that spring waters in Seydikemer were physically and chemicallyappropriate to Turkish Spring Water Standards. However, Çaltılar, Yayla Zorban, Temelköy-Ceylanköy springs are under the residential waste threat, but Karacasu is agricultural wastethreat today.
