Climate Change and Water Crisis: Where is Turkey Heading?

Climate change and water crisis are threatening Turkey's future. Our water resources are rapidly decreasing, negatively impacting the agricultural sector.
The per capita water amount has decreased from 1652 cubic meters in 2000 to 1308 cubic meters today. This situation is expected to worsen in the coming years.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is working on improving water efficiency. Over 2600 lakes and rivers have been recorded, and drinking water sources are being monitored.
Under the leadership of President Erdoğan, the "Water Efficiency Mobilization" initiative aims to reduce daily water consumption. This is an important step for water conservation.
Drought is affecting many regions of Turkey. Increasing irrigation efficiency and promoting smart irrigation systems are essential.
Experts emphasize the need for an urgent national mobilization to address the water crisis. Protecting and efficiently using water resources is of vital importance.
