Turkey Water Report Q3 2014 is a new market research publication announced by Reportstack. It was believed that the ongoing drought, the reduction of the water resources, and the rising demand for thermal electricity generation pose serious risks to the Turkish water sector. Moreover, continued regional tensions between Turkey and its neighbours concerning the former's extensive dam construction and the latter's calls to slow or even halt construction of many of Turkey's water infrastructure projects will have a long-term impact on the sector.
The water crisis faced by Istanbul in January 2014 has intensified .Tight measures are being considered and it is possible that water rationing might be enforced. We view this event as indicative of two problems - one is the lack of water resources in many areas, despite the fact Turkey has access to water from two of the largest rivers in the region. Turkey consumes more water each year than can be naturally regenerated, which means it relies on heavy rainfall or recycled water. The second issue is the lack of an efficient water management plan and awareness education programme to encourage conservative water consumption habits, among domestic and industrial users. The effects of low tariffs, limited natural resources and wasteful consumption practices plague the country as a whole and can be seen on a smaller scale in Istanbul at present.
