  1. Firstly:BASIC FACTS ABOUT WATER Because 70% of the Earth is covered by water, it is called “the Blue Planet” Yet only 2,5 % of the world’s water is fresh water, while 97 % is oceans.

  2. About two thirds of the human body is water. Some parts of the body contains more water than others. For example 70% of your skin is water. You can survive about a month without food, but only 5 to 7 days without water.

  3. Most of our food is made up of water: # tomatoes: 95 % # spinach: 91 % # milk: 90 % # apples: 85 % # potatoes: 80 % # beef: 61 % # hot dog: 56 %

  4. Turkey’s water resources

  5. Rivers of Turkey

  6. Turkey is between three major bodies of water on each side: The BLACK SEA IN THE NORTH The MEDITERRANEAN SEA IN THE SOUTH The AEGEAN SEA IN THE WEST

  7. Turkey is not a country rich in fresh water. Lets compare Turkey in the region: # Palestine is 100 cubic meters per year # Jordan is 250 cubic meters per year # Israel is 500 cubic meters per year # Syria is 1420 cubic meters per year # Turkey is 1830 cubic meters per year # Iraq is 2110 cubic meters per year # Canada is 10.000 cubic meters per year SO TURKEY is not the richest country in the region. Water rich countries have 10,000 cubic meters of water per capita yearly. Turkey’s per capita water capacity is 1,830 cubic meters

  8. Some of the rivers in Turkey are:

  9. The Eupherates river with its dam

  10. The scamender

  11. The Sakarya River

  12. The Kizilirmak ( The Red River)

  13. The Firat

  14. Dicle River (The Tigris)

  15. Hasankeyf ruins on River Tigris

  16. The çoruh

  17. Seyhan ( the River Seyhan)

  18. Ceyhan ( the River of Ceyhan

  19. The Gediz River

  20. Menderes River

  21. The Sakarya River

  22. Water resources of Alacati • We have a dam in Alacati: Kutlu Aktas Dam

  23. # The dam has been constructed in 1994# Its capacity is 19 million tonnes.# But it is not full, it has about 6 million tones now# It has a purifying unit

  24. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM in Alacati? Need of water in Alacati has risen with the growth in population. Water shortage in our dams caused by global warming Lack of fresh water extreme usage of water decrease of rains and snows illegal using.
