Prediction of Chlorophyll a in Kurtboğazı and Çamlıdere Reservoirs

Abstract

he relationships between chlorophyll a and some physical and chemical properties of water were investigated by using multiple linear and nonlinear regression models in Kurtbo ğ az ı and Çaml ı dere reservoirs With these two different approaches chlorophyll a was aimed to be estimate more accurately. The determination coefficients were found as 95% and 82% for multiple linear regression models while 85` /0 and 7 O % for nonlinear regression models for Kurtbo ğaz ı and Çaml ı dere reservoirs, respectively.
