Determination of Catchment Characteristics over Ballikaya Subbasin in Ceyhan Watershed via Arc-GIS Environment
Abstract
Water, an indicator of civilization, is one of the
rare resources in which living organisms can continue their life activities.
Watershed management plays a major role today in order to benefit from existing
water resources (i.e. controlling water resources against drought, maintaining
water quality) or to minimize the risks of excess water that may occur (i.e.
flooding). For this purpose, Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is used in
conjunction with developed technology to accurately determine catchment
boundaries and accordingly to be applied in rainfall-runoff simulation process.
In this study, high resolution DEM data was implemented to identify the river
network in the Ballikaya region (Ceyhan Basin), establish the flow direction,
flow accumulation, and basin boundaries in addition to these, to determine the
characteristic features such as catchment area, and slope. This study indicates
how convenient and important DEM data and Arc-GIS are in watershed
implementations. Obtained DEM data was processed in the Arc-GIS environment,
and it provides a capability for the
prediction of possible hydrological planning over the region (such as obtaining
the precipitation-flow hydrograph, flood frequency estimation etc.).

Abstract
Medeniyet
göstergesi olan su canlıların yaşam faaliyetlerini sürdürebilmesindeki yegane kaynaklardandır.
Mevcut su kaynaklarından faydalanabilme (su kaynaklarının kurumaya karşı
kontrol edilmesi, kalitesinin korunumu gibi) veya oluşabilecek fazla suyun risklerini minimize
etmek amacıyla (taşkın gibi) havza yönetimi günümüzde büyük rol oynamaktadır.
Bu amaçla, doğru bir şekilde havza sınırlarının belirlenmesi ve buna bağlı
olarak yağıştan akışa geçiş süreçlerinin simülasyonlarında kullanılmak üzere
gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte sayısal yükseklik modelleri (SYM)
kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Ballıkaya mevkiindeki (Ceyhan Havzası) nehir
ağının tanımlanması, akım güzergahının, kümülatif akım haritasının, havza
sınırlarının saptanması bunlara ek olarak havza alanı ve eğimi gibi
karakteristik özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yüksek çözünürlükteki SYM
haritalarından faydalanılmıştır. Bu çalışma, SYM verilerinin ve Arc-GIS
programının havza analizlerinde ne kadar pratik ve önemli olduğunu ortaya
koymaktadır. Elde edilen SYM haritaları Arc-GIS ortamında işlenmiş, bölgede
oluşabilecek olası hidrolojik süreçlerin tahmini (yağış-akış hidrografının elde
edilmesi, taşkın frekans tahmini gibi) için hazır hale getirilmiştir.
