Abstract
As an alternative resource
to the surface water, groundwater is a vital resource that has been on the
interest of many recent studies. Hence, the evaluation of the groundwater
potential, its properties, and its availability needs specific dedication. In
this study, monthly groundwater level time series at 9 observation wells
scattered aligned with Mount Uludağ in Bursa are used. A 12-year period starting from
January 2007 to October 2018 is taken into analysis and several statistical
properties of the groundwater level time series are projected on maps. These
statistical values are mean, coefficient of skewness, coefficient of kurtosis,
coefficient of variation, and correlation coefficient. Results indicate that
there is a high potential in the groundwater flow towards Yeniceabat. A strong
linear correlation between groundwater levels in wells was observed which shows
the potential connectivity between aquifers in the region. In addition, the
groundwater levels located at the north show irregular patterns, probably due
to water withdrawal for agriculture purposes.
