| Popis: | Rapid urbanisation, land cover change and increasing frequency of natural disaster put significant pressure on quantity, quality and availability of freshwater resources.. Urban population has been increasing in Turkey and parallel to this growth water demand is rising as well. However, negative impacts of land use and climatic changes resulted with water stress even water scarcity for some regions of the country. This study focuses on spatial and temporal evaluation of domestic water supply and water usage patterns of Turkey for the last 25 years. National and municipal domestic water statistics were obtained from TSI and evaluated with a geographical perspective. Water withdrawn has been increasing in Turkey; dams, wells and springs are the main water supply resources. Recently, water withdrawal rate from rivers are increasing. The dependence on surface waters for domestic use tends to increase, especially in metropolitan areas. Considering the fragility of dams in terms of changing rainfall patterns and increased evaporation with climate change, lots of risk might arise in the future regarding water security. To maintain water and other water-related services, municipalities should adopt water-use efficiency approaches. |
