Water Scarcity – Türkiye - Konya and Niğde
Abstract
We are in a period where climate problems are increasingly experienced, so the water scarcity has become a very important problem. The study examines the water problem in general terms. The decreasing change in water availability in the world and Turkey is on the way to becoming a disaster. The literature review explores the sources of water scarcity problems. Field practices also confirm this scarcity. Applications in the field also make errors visible in water-related processes. According to findings and field examples, the consequences of water scarcity are increasingly showing a negative spillover effect. The cities taken as examples in the field study are Konya-Karapınar and Niğde in the Central Anatolia Region. While Karapınar and Niğde were rich in terms of water resources in the past, they have become increasingly poor today. It is understood that the groundwater level has reached much lower elevations. The study draws attention to the importance of alarming water resources and emphasizes that the problem of water scarcity will affect settlements by focusing on water management.
