The Situation of Water Resources and Agricultural Irrigation in Turkey

Abstract

Turkey's land area is about 78.5 million ha. The population is 84 million, with an annual growth rate of 1.09% in 2020. Turkey is divided into 25 basins that correspond with its hydrological features. The average yearly flow in the basins is 186 billion cubic meters (BCM). The Euphrates-Tigris River Basin has a water potential of 28.4% and is the largest watershed in Turkey in terms of water potential and surface area.Turkey’s total usable water potential is 112 BCM, of which 98 BCM is surface water, and 14 BCM is groundwater. Approximately 20-25% of Turkey’s irrigable area is irrigated with groundwater. This study discussed the state of Turkey's water resources and agricultural irrigation.
