Management of Wastewater of Settlement Areas in Potable Water Basins Within Tekirdağ Province

The aim of this case study: To plan and organize suitable cast out of domestics sewage which are located in areas near the under protection pottable water basins of Tekirdağ province. Material and Methods: İn this study, especially precautions to be taken for waste water coming from residental areas within or very near water basins are under consideration.Conclusions: İn the basins adverse impacts of domestic and industrial waste water which the most impartant elements of point-based pollution should be refuse using with appropriate treatment methods. For effective basin management industrial waste water must be removed from the basin even if it is refined.
