Global climate change, improper and unintended land use, rapid and unplanned urbanization are very important factors that exert significant pressure on water and soil resources. The aim of this study is to determine and to evaluate the physical and ground engineering properties of soils in agricultural lands located in stream beds. The research includes detailed analysis of the physical and ground engineering properties of the soils in stream valleys in the Şebinkarahisar region, which is under the influence of transitional climate conditions in Türkiye. Soil sampling was carried out in the autumn season. Topsoils and subsoils are mostly in the clay loam, sandy loam and sandy clay loam texture classes. The results of particle density, bulk density and total porosity analyses were found to be suitable for the samples taken from stream beds. Hydraulic conductivity varies from very slow to fast across all soils. It was determined that the differences in the hydraulic conductivity values of the grounds were due to the sampling from different stream beds and the variation in texture classes. According to the classification based on the values ​​of plasticity index, the majority of the soils have been found to have high and medium plasticity. The clay activities of the grounds, most of which are classified as having high and medium plasticity, were categorized as non-active and normal. For agricultural activities in the study area, it would be beneficial to map the land characteristics and analyze the waters in the streams. It is thought that analyzing the physical and detailed engineering properties of grounds in stream valleys and determining different ground types will provide important contributions to soil-water conservation studies.
