Anotace: In this study, in particular, the relationship between high lithium

values and geological environments was examined. To determine
this, the geology, structural geology, hydrogeology, and
hydrogeochemistry of the area in the north of the Gülşehir-Yeşilöz
sub-basin of the Kızılırmak Basin were investigated. For
hydrogeological studies, 19 water samples were collected in May
and September. Tectonically, this area has a horst-graben structure.
The relationships between the water analysis values of the study
area and the tectonic areas were investigated. In particular, the
lithium content of the waters in the study area was investigated.
Hydrogeochemical properties and seasonal changes in water
resources were studied in detail, and their relationship with tectonic
areas was evaluated. Water analyses were carried out during wet
and dry periods to determine temporal hydrogeochemical changes.
According to the analysis, the waters in the area are of Ca-HCO3
and Ca-Mg-HCO3 facies. In addition, there are water samples with
high lithium content in the study area. IDW and Kernel diagrams of
these were prepared. It was found that these high values were
influenced by the rocks formed in the ancient sea and saline lake
environments. The region with the highest lithium value is in the
formations that represent the former salt lake environment. High
lithium (Li) values are generally higher in the region within the
Kızılırmak graben. Lithium values in this area were determined as
241.3 µg/L, 154.5 µg/L, 155.2 µg/L, 156.8 µg/L, and 155.6 µg/L.
