Turkish water infrastructure and loss management

Overview

Water management authorities in Turkey are implementing infrastructure upgrades and technological solutions to mitigate water loss and enhance security.

In Konya, KOSKİ initiated a comprehensive renewal campaign as part of its 2026 investment program. The operation involves scanning water networks to identify inefficiencies and replacing aging components, such as 326 critical network valves, with high-pressure resistant models compatible with smart control systems. These measures aim to reduce leaks and bring loss rates closer to international standards.

In Kayseri, KASKİ has been recognized as one of Turkey’s top five metropolitan water and sewerage administrations. Based on 2025 year-end data, the city achieved a loss-leakage rate of 25.45%. Mayor Dr. Memduh Büyükkılıç attributed the prevention of 2.7 million cubic meters of water loss to the use of SCADA systems, acoustic listening devices, and infrastructure improvements.
