Özet: Pollution of aquatic ecosystems due to heavy metals prevents primary production in sediment and surface water, fixation of nitrogen, mineralization of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and enzyme synthesis and its activities. In this context, heavy metals are crucial for the sustainability of inland water ecosystems in terms of both their toxic effects and their potential to accumulate in the sediment and along the food chain. There are different methods for determining the anthropogenic metal input in the sediment, an important component of the ecosystem. In Turkey, studies on heavy metal levels in the water-sediment are centered on sea and lakes and there are relatively limited number of studies focusing on dam lakes in the subject matter. In this study of compilation, recent researches which have conducted after 2000s regarding water and sediment of dam lakes in our country were summarized and compiled. In the light of the researches, an overall evaluation is aimed by this study, which also wants to raise a concern over fish cage culturing that becomes widespread particularly in inland waters.
