N2  - ABSTRACT
Eutrophication is among the commonest causes of phenomena that deteriorate the
quality of water of islands and aquatic bodies. In this thesis research Canakkale Lake
which is located in the east of Cyprus was investigated and various water quality
parameters were analyzed. The limiting nutrient of the Lake is total phosphorus (TP)
with a mean value of0.12 mg/L and a Trophic State Index of 69.0 while the mean value
of total nitrogen was 27.43 mg/L with a Trophic State Index of 121.3. Chlorophyll-a
shows a stronger connection with TN (R2 = 0.9972) than with TP (R2 = 0.763). Even
though the R2 of TP is lower, in the literature the algal growth was more highly
regulated by total phosphorus due to its lower concentration. Chlorophyll-a
concentration was 0.01355 mg/L. The results show that the lake is hypereutrophic as
the Trophic State Index of the lake is 74.7 which was calculated using the Florida
Trophic State Index (FTSI). Nutrient sources came directly from agricultural activities
and improper management of waste, especially sewage
