Turkey water and agricultural infrastructure updates

Overview

Turkey continues to advance large-scale water management and agricultural infrastructure projects. In the Harran Plain, the State Hydraulic Works (DSİ) is working to repurpose drainage water to support 23,530 hectares of agricultural land. Drinking water infrastructure is progressing in Patnos, with the treatment plant reaching 75% completion, while a biological wastewater treatment plant in Kars is 53% complete. Major dam projects, including the Silvan, Hamzadere, and Sarıçay dams, remain underway.

New developments include the construction of the Tekke Dam in Bolu as part of the Bolu-Gerede-Dörtdivan Project, which is expected to provide 9.21 million cubic meters of water annually for drinking and irrigation. In Yozgat, the DSİ has commissioned a 219,239-meter closed irrigation network at the Uzunlu Dam under the Turkey Irrigation Modernization Project. This system aims to increase irrigation efficiency from 35-40% to 80-90% for approximately 80,000 decares of farmland.

In Kars, DSİ 24th Region Director Serdar Kotan conducted on-site inspections of flood control projects in the Selim and Sarıkamış districts. These inspections, involving technical teams and contractors, focused on quality control and schedule adherence to mitigate flood risks in residential and agricultural areas.

Other ongoing regional efforts include stormwater line construction in Antalya, grate cleaning in Manisa, and water supply initiatives in Diyarbakır’s Kulp district. Additionally, officials in Çanakkale have called for better cooperation to address water shortages in the Kepez district via the Atikhisar Dam.
