Attractiveness is divided into 2 groups as natural andman-made (cultural) tourist atractiveness and appears among the factors directing demand for tourism enterprises and providingflow of tourists. Waterfalls are commonly formed when a river is young. ivril-Dinar tectonic basin teems with natural andhuman attractions. It has important natural assets such as I kl and G kg l lakes, Akda Natural Park, I kl , Yuva, G kg l,Su kan Springs, I kl ancient city and Beycesultan Mound. Undoubtedly, Gümü su waterfall, located within the borders ofGümü su (Homa) town, is one of those natural assets. Waterfalls where the water has a rapid drop through the slope joints thatcame out due to various reasons are one of the most important natural tourist attractiveness and beyond comparison.. In Turkey,there are many waterfalls different from each other in terms of formation, amount of water and drop height. Although Gümü süwaterfall and its surroundings have an important touristic potential, it has not been made use of sufficiently. The waterfall wasformed by the water that came out of tectonic–carstic origin P narba spring, flew for 150 meters and fell from a height of 15 and30 meters from two slope cracks which are formed by fault line. Waterfalls drop from two slope cracks which are formed by faultlines that cut ophiolitic mélange.Research area is located between field of continental and Mediterranean climate. Therefore, climate is transition type. In orderto demonstrate of the area’s climate, ivril and Dinar Meteorological Stations observations were used.There are three major lithologic units in waterfall and around. These are limestones, ophiolitic mélange and alluvium.Limestones, are called as Akdag formation, amolukformation, Akcay formation and the Kartal formation. Melange, Akcayperidotite and pyrox along the valley floor is a small field. The youngest unit in the region is Quaternary alluvium. Quaternaryunits are composed, with a permanent and continuous flow during the rainy season brought by rivers from the mountainssurrounding the base of the graben left gravel, sand, silt and clay content alluviums, the mountain range of debris that hasdeveloped at the contact with the sediments of the plain, debris flow which were shaped in front of fault scarps between Beydilliand Yuva and also in Ak ay valley.Gümü su and around consist of two main geomorphological units: the Akda and Dinar graben. The waterfall, is located inthe southern slope of Akda . Akda is a horst which surrounded by fa
