Turkey, drought and lack of water in dams

Drought threatens Turkey’s water supply

The decrease in rainfall and drought caused by global warming is beginning to be felt in Turkey, where experts warn of a worrying decline in water reserves in many cities. Even in normally humid regions like the Black Sea, rainfall has been cut in half; and in cities like İzmir, the third most populous in the country, some reservoirs are at 36%, less than half that a year ago, and water supply is in danger.
