Abstract
In the Western Taurus region that extends between the Lake District and the Mediterranean Sea, South-western Turkey, some of the largest karst aquifers in the world are to be found. These are, from east to west, namely, the karst aquifers of the Manavgat river basin, the Köprüçay river basin, the Aksu river basin and karst aquifers of the travertines of the Antalya plateau and the Kirkgöz Springs.
Computation of recharge and discharge of the above listed aquifers has been made during the intensive and detailed hydrogeological investigation of the relevant basins. The calculations revealed that a significant contribution, as natural recharge of the aquifers,comes from the adjacent basins.
This paper is to discuss the studies on the natural recharge from the adjacent basins and their results, in detail.
