dc.description.abstractResearch area is Altinekin district (of Konya). Altinekin spans 1176 square kilometres. It consists of two separate basins lying north-south direction and a mountain range which separates them in the middle and begins 1100 meters above sea level and reaches up to 1566 meters. Research area is one of the significant agricultural lands of Konya. Because this area, where agriculture done intensively, has insufficient rain and no surface water, the need for agricultural water is met by underground water. In the research area there are 4129 water wells in total which are dug for agricultural watering. However, their distributions to the area aren't balanced throughout the district. The distribution of these water wells are prominently effected by geological, geomorphological and soil factors. In terms of geological factors 99% of the water wells are on the lithological units which consist of limestone, carbonated clay and pebble stone, in terms of Geomorphological factors all these water wells are situated on areas under 1100 meters, in terms of slope factor 98% of the water wells are gathered on the areas which have a slope of below 3 degrees, in terms of soil factor 84% of the water wells are on brown soil. Moreover, another point to draw attention is that the mountain range which has a slight altitude and lies in the north-south direction separates these water wells into two basins. Consequently, geological, geomorphological (altitude, slope, direction of mountains) and soil factors have considerable effects in the distribution of water wells.en_US
