The water crisis in Turkey is deepening. Reservoir levels are sounding the alarm!

Recent droughts are threatening water sources across Turkey. In major cities, reservoir levels have dropped to critical levels. For instance, the reservoir levels supplying water to Istanbul have decreased from 54.9% last year to 48.1% this year. Experts warn that this situation could lead to a water crisis.
