 Abstract: Water and sediment samples taken from Karakaya dam lake have been analysed for chemical and physical parameters during the four seasons. Different metal ions such as Fe, Cu, Pb, Mn, Cd, Ca,  various parameters such as NO2--N,  NH3-N, PO43-, organic substance and total filterable residues were determined using standard reagents kits by HACH DR 2010 spectrophotometer. The obtained results have been within the acceptable limits of pollution according to Turkish standards except for nitrite-nitrogen, BOD levels for all of sampling sites, and pH values in sampling site III.

 Key words: Heavy metals, dam lake, spectrophotometer, chemical analysis, environmental pollution.
