Development of Circular Water Management Possibilities at Multisectoral (Urban, Industrial and Agricultural) Scale: The Case of Küçük Menderes River Basin

25.03.2024

Istanbul Aydın University (Dr. Lecturer Hasan Volkan ORAL) coordinated by Dokuz Eylül University, General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works and GTE as project partners “Development of Circular Water Management Opportunities at Multisectoral (Urban, Industrial and Agricultural) Scale: The Case of Küçük Menderes River Basin” project is supported by COST European Cooperation in Science and Technology and TUBITAK joint programme “Implementing nature-based solutions for creating a resourceful city -CA 17133 – WG 2” action.

The project aims to develop circular water management possibilities at a multispectral scale in the case of the Küçük Menderes River Basin. The issue of water allocation will be partially proposed based on the intended uses that will indirectly come up when analysing different water uses (industry-urban-agriculture), integrating the treatment option when necessary. Therefore, the discussion and evaluation of both the water quality in Küçük Menderes and the water quality that may arise from cyclic processes will emerge as the project develops.
