Özet
Türkiye's land area is about 78.5 million ha. The population is 84 million, with an annual growth rate of 1.09%
in 2020. Türkiye is divided into 25 basins that correspond with its hydrological features. The average yearly
flow in the basins is 186 billion cubic meters (BCM). The Euphrates-Tigris River Basin has a water potential
of 28.4% and is the largest watershed in Türkiye in terms of water potential and surface area. Türkiye’s total
usable water potential is 112 BCM, of which 98 BCM is surface water and 14 BCM is
groundwater. Approximately 20-25% of Türkiye’s irrigable area is irrigated with groundwater. This study
discussed the state of Türkiye's water resources and agricultural irrigation.
