THE CHARACTERISTICS AND THE TYPES OF THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN THE GANOS MOUNT AND ITS SURROUNDINGS (TEKIRDAG)

The aim of the present study is to describe the characteristics and the types of the drainage system in and around the Ganos (Işıklar) Mount. In this study, 1/25.000-scaled topographic map sheets numbered BANDIRMA G18 a3, b3, b4, c1, d2, and d3 of Turkey’s Topographic Maps prepared by the General Co...
