This study was conducted to identify physico-chemical features of water Apa Dam Lake, between March 2010 to March 2012. Results were compared with according to water pollution Control Regulation (WPCR), water intended human consumption standards (TS 266), eutrophycation limit value and step organic pollution. Also according to Pearson Correlation Matrix analysis of physico-chemical parameters relationships with each other were determined. During the study, the water samples were taken periodically from five chosen stations in every month. The measured data were given as following (minimum, maximum, average); water temperature values were (4.5-29.3-16.36[degrees]C), pH (7.83-9.66-8.49), dissolved oxygen (4.36-11.3-8.59 mg/l), BOD5, (1.3-27-10.38 mg/l), ammonium (0.032-3.157-0.64 mg/l), nitrite (0-0.338-0.05 mg/l), nitrate (0.082-6.715-1.64 mg/l), total phosphates (9-78-27.038 [mu]g/l), sulphates (10.3-41.7-22.82 mg/l), chloride (2.11-25.8-6.22 mg/l), potassium (0-2.68-0.77), total hardness (15.1-23-18.04 FS[degrees]), suspended solid content (23-88-53.19 mg/l), calcium (43.7-65-53.53 mg/l), magnesium (8.16-15.8-10.78 mg/l), conductivity (151.1-218-185.05 [mu]S/cm) and turbidity (1.02-74.5-20.52 NTU). Apa Dam Lake applied according to the PCA physico-chemical parameters as their relationships with each other, all indicate taht was a correlation in the positive direction. According to the results it was identified that Apa Dam Lake has warm and good quality water without serious pollution problem and that alkaline properties is a dam lake. All of the relationship of physico-chemical parameters with each other show that a positive correlation according to the PCA on the Apa dam lake. At the end of study, the dam lake was determined as alkaline property, there were not a significiant pollution factor and water quality can be considered as good.Original Abstract: Bu calisma, Mart 2010 ve Mart 2012 tarihleri arasinda, Apa baraj golu'nun su kalitesinin, fiziko-kimyasal parametrelerinin belirlenmesi amaciyla yapilmistir. Sonuclar kita ici su kaynaklari kalite kriterleri, insani tuketim amacli sularin standartlari, otrofikasyon sinir degerleri ve organik kirlenme basamagi ile karsilastirilmistir. Ayrica Pearson Corelasyon Matrix analizine gore fiziko-kimyasal parametrelerin birbirleriyle olan iliskileri belirlenmistir. Calisma suresince tespit edilen bes istasyondan her ay su ornekleri alinmis ve elde edilen degerler (minimum, maksimum, ortalama); su sicakligi (4.5-29.3-16.36[degrees]C), pH (7.83-9.66-8.49), cozunmus oksijen (4.36-11.3-8.59 mg/l), BOI sub(5), (1.3-27-10.38 mg/l), amonyum (0.032-3.157-0.64 mg/l), nitrit (0-0.338-0.05 mg/l), nitrat (0.082-6.715-1.64), toplam fosfat (9-78-27.038 [mu]g/l), sulfat (10.3-41.7-22.82 mg/l), klorur (2.11-25.8-6.22 mg/l), potasyum (0-2.68-0.77), toplam sertlik (15.1-23-18.04 FS[degrees]), askida kati madde (23-88-53.19 mg/l), kalsiyum (43.7-65-53.53 mg/l), magnezyum (8.16-15.8-10.78 mg/l), elektriksel iletkenlik (151.1-218-185.05 [mu]S/cm) ve bulaniklik (1.02-74.5-20.52 NTU) seklinde bulunmustur. Apa Baraj Golu'nde uygulanan PCA analizine gore fiziko-kimyasal parametrelerin birbirleriyle olan iliskilerinin tamami pozitif yonde bir korelasyon oldugunu gostermektedir. Calisma sonunda alkali ozellikte bir baraj golu oldugu, onemli bir kirlilik unsurunun olmadigi ve barajin iyi sayilabilecek bir su kalitesine sahip oldugu belirlenmistir.
