  1. MINISTRY OF FORESTRY AND WATER AFFAIRS WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN TURKEY Dr. Yakup KARAASLAN Head of Water Quality Management Department

  2. Current Situation Analysis of Water Quality Management • Current potential of water resources • Quality of water resources, • WWTP situation in Turkey and the technologies used, • Financial size of water sector, • Administrative structure • Progress in Water Quality Management • EU legislation • National legislation • Studies carried out • Bottlenecks and challenges faced in Water Quality Management • Strategies and policies for future Scope

  3. Available Water Resources Potential in Turkey Total Amount of WaterTargetedforServingtoUse in 2023: 112 billions m3/year Total WaterUse of 2010: 43 billions m3/year

  4. Amount of Water Used on the Basis of Resource When looking at the distribution with drinking network in municipalities and villages and when looking at the distribution of water used by industry and mining enterprises on the basis of water resources, it is seen that sea water is used mostly. WaterDrawn in 2010 on theBasis of Resource (TÜİK)

  5. Sectoral Distribution of Water Used It is seen that water drawn from water resources are largely used by the municipalities when a sectoralanalysis is done • WaterDrawn in 2010 on theBasis of Sectors(TÜİK)

  6. Factors Affecting Quality of Water Resources in Turkey • The current quality of the waters of Turkey • Causes of deterioration in the quality of water resources • Industrialization, mining activities • Unplanned urbanization • Agricultural activities • For «Olive black water» fromIndustrial facilities producing olive oil, transition to two-phase continuous system, which produce less olive black water, instead of 3-phase continuous system is encouraged • Waste dams where mine enrichment facilities wastes are stored, affects adversely the quality of water resources. - As a result of livestock activities organic load and nutrient input increasesin water resources. This cause water quality negatively.. • Pollution Status of Water Resources • Water quality thematic map of 11 river basin (COD, TP, TN, River Basin Action Plans) • Ergene Basin Action Plan • Water quality of drinking water reservoirs of metropolitan municipalities, • Datas of 2011 of Integrated Pollution Monitoring Project in (water, sediment and biota monitoring works)

  7. Factors affecting the quality of water resources in Turkey Use of AgriculturalFertilizers • PlantProtectionProducts Sourca: Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock Web Site • - Using of pesticides and fertilizers is the most important polluter factor affecting water quality. • - Approximately 500 pesticides are allowed and some of them are prohibited by Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestockbetween 2001 and 2011

  23. Administrative Structure for Water Quality Management • AdministrativeStructure in Turkey

  24. Reasons of that Our InternalWaters Are Relatively More Polluted than OurCoastal waters Although wastewater from point source treatmentof greater than 80%, reasons for the continuation of contamination of water resources aregiven below; • Wastewater treatment plants are notdesigned according to the appropriate norms and standards and not well-operated. • Environmental quality standards are not developed and implemented for implementation of discharge standardsbased the receiving environment by setting environmental objectives. • Physico-chemical parameters of water resources are taken into consideration in the assessmentof quality class, but micropollutants and biological quality parameters are nottaken into account. Causes of diffuse pollution; • Sensitive waterareas caused bynutrient pollutionand agricultural districts that affects these sensitive areas are not determined. Good agricultural practices are not implemented in these districts. • The use of pesticides in our country is increasing every year.There has not been any study on the impact ofpesticides onwater resources. • Environmental quality standards, which are referred toreceiving environmentcriterias, are notdetermined in the view of pesticidesand pollution prevention works are not made based on receiving environment criterias.

  38. Recommendations For the protection of water resources; • Determination of Environmental Quality standards for implementation of environmental discharge standardsbased on the receivingenvironmentbyputingforth environment objectives, • Determinationof substances or groups of substances that are harmful to aquaticorganisms and therefore to human health ve receiving water environments andtaking the necessary measures for the reduction of these substances in receiving environment, • Determinationof sensitive water bodies in view of nutrient pollution and determination areas of agricultural, industrial and urban areasthat affecting the sensitive areas • Identification environmentalquality standards, which are called as receiving environmentcriterias, in view of pesticides and doing pollutionprevention activitiesfor these pesticides based on the receiving environment criteria, • Promotionof good and organicagricultural practices by technical and financial supports, • Promoting the pollutionprevention programs and cleaner productionpractices in industry, • Identification and follow-up measures to achieve good water quality,
