Abstract :The animal wastes and bacteria in the fertilizer reach the water sources as a result of washing with precipitation and floods and cause deterioration of microbial quality. If the necessary precautions are not taken, it will be inevitable for wastes in livestock enterprises to pollute groundwater and resources as a potential pollutant. In this study, animal pollution load caused by spreading pollutant sources of Isparta center and its districts in Burdur basin was determined. In the pollution load calculation, 2019 animal numbers data were used according to three different animal species and the annual total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) loads were calculated. As a result of the calculation, the total TN load is 272.22 tons / year, total TP load was calculated as 8.45 tons / year. In addition, the district with the most widespread pollution load was determined and comparisons were made among the districts.Keywords : Animal pollution load, Diffuse pollutants, Total nitrogen, Total phosphorus
