Consultancy Services for Preparation of Great Menderes River Basin Master Plan Study

Great Menderes Basin Master Plan works are carried out in the Denizli, Aydın and Uşak provincial areas. These areas correspond to about 26.010 hectares and 2.5 million inhabitants for the target year 2067. The study covered the analysis of drinking and industrial water needs, water rights determination, land use, determination of irrigation need and its potential, and identification of irrigation alternatives for irrigation areas. It also considered irrigated agriculture if technically and economically feasible, determination of agricultural areas with insufficient drainage and development of suitable measures, analysis of water use for potable water, irrigation and energy production. The study assessed water resources for dams, regulators, tunnels, wells, galleries, irrigation, and drainage and overflows plants in order to reduce flood risks and proposed the construction of those infrastructure investments that are environmentally and economically viable.
