Sapanca Lake Map And Location




Information About Sapanca Lake


Directions,Location,Map

Sapanca Lake is a lake located in the district of Sapanca in the region between Adapazarı and Istanbul, near the Kocaeli border.
Lake Sapanca is a tectonic freshwater lake in the Eastern Marmara Region, 12 km west of Sakarya city center and 27 km east of Izmit. The eastern part of the lake, which is in the east-west direction, is within the borders of Sakarya province and the western part is within the borders of Kocaeli province. The region in which the lake is located is on the Izmit-Sapanca Corridor, which is bounded by the segments of the northern branch of the North Anatolian Fault, between the Samanlı Mountains in the south and the Kocaeli Penepleni in the north. This corridor developed as a pull-apart basin during the Neotectonic period. The 17 August 1999 earthquake surface fracture entered the Sapanca Lake from the southeastern border and made a right-hand leap of ~ 600 m in the lake, leaving the northwest border of the lake. This leap controlled the collapse of the lake in the long term
Physical characteristics
length

The length of the lake, which is 33 m above sea level, is 16 km in the east-west direction and 5 km in the north-south direction.

Face measurement
The long-term average surface area of ​​the lake is 46.9 km² and the area of ​​the water basin is 296 km².

depth
The maximum depth of the lake is 53 m. The base of the lake rises in the northeast and west. The lake floor is surrounded by fault-controlled steep bowl walls from the north, south and southeast.


Streams that feed the lake
Sapanca Lake is fed from the sources at the bottom of the small streams descending from the mountains. The streams on the southern shore of Lake Sapanca are from east to west; Arifiye, Goat (Kurucesme), Istanbul, Mahmudiye, Kurtkoy, Yanik, Kurucay and the northern part of the Hell, Stallion, Altikurus, Cakaloldu Mine, Dry, Port, Esme, Hazelnut, Tuzla, Ciftepinar, Fisheries streams. Due to the fact that the high flowing streams carry coarse grained sediments, DSI has built inverted dams on these streams in order to prevent the lake bed from filling. In addition to these streams, the resources available in the lake feed the lake continuously. Observation stations opened by the State Hydraulic Works (DSI) and Electrical Power Resources Survey and Development Administration (EIEI) can monitor the water level change and flow of the lake. According to the measurements made by EİEİ, the water of the lake increases in winter and spring months and decreases towards autumn. 70–90 cm, sometimes 120 fark130 cm difference is seen between the two levels. The E-5 Highway passes the northern shore of the lake and the TEM Motorway and railway passes through the south shore.

Natural life
During the year, 69 bird species from 12 teams to 28 families were identified around the lake. Of these, 29 are indigenous in all seasons, 23 are summer migrants, 12 are winter migrants and 5 are transit migrants. Most species were counted in April with 42, and least species in March with 26. The Pasbaş patka seen in the area has NT (almost threatened) protection status, and Dikkuyruk EN (danger of extinction in natural life is very high). The remaining species are included in the group of LCs with minimal concern. When the species found in the lake are examined, it is accepted that the area is an important aquatic ecosystem. The highest number of species was observed in summer and the highest number of individuals in winter. Being on the road of migration requires the placement and reproduction of many species and individuals on the list of Wetlands of International Importance.
