Learning ObjectivesWater Resources Engineering is about solving problems to
secure water for people, based on a scientific understanding of hydrologic and hydraulic processes. This includes protection from excess water and from water shortage, as well as providing sufficient water for a sustainable environment.
At the end of this class you will:• be aware of water resources issues at local , national and
global scale,• be able to qualitatively and quantitatively describe the main
processes in the hydrologic cycle, and• be able to provide solutions for typical water resources
problems found in practice.

Ancient Hydrologic
History
Nile RiverThe longest river in the world
(6650 km)
Loucks and van Beek, 2006
Hydrology has been a subject of investigation and engineering for millennia. For example, about 4000 B.C. the Nile was dammed to improve agricultural productivity of previously barren lands. Mesopotamian towns were protected from flooding with high earthen walls. Aqueducts were built by the Greeks and AncientRomans, while the History of China shows they built irrigation and flood control works. The ancient Sinhalese used hydrology to build complex irrigation Works in Sri Lanka, also known for invention of the Valve Pit which allowed construction of large reservoirs, anicuts and canals which still function.

The water resources are composed of all
• Surface water potential (rivers, lakes, …)• Underground water potential (groundwater…)

Water resources system
• It is a system that control, utilize and manage water in an efficient manner
What are the systems:• Dams• Water supply systems• Waster water collection systems• Treatment plants• Flood mitigation

• There are two significant factors for water pollution
• Growing population• Advancement in technology

Hydropolitics
• Transboundry rivers of Turkey• Euphrates (Fırat)• Tigris (Dicle)• Çoruh• Meriç

E-T river basin
• Headwaters are located in Turkey
• Turkey contributes nearly %60 of streamflow
• Turkey promises daily 500m3/s water for all seasons.
• Turkey regulates the flows

Floods
Floods cause extensive damage: “during 1991-1995, flood related damage totaled more than US$200 billion (not inflation adjusted) globally, representing close to 40% of all economic damage attributed to natural disasters in the period -- (Pielke Jr. and Downton, 2000, citing IFRCRCS, 1997). In the United States, annual flood damage runs in the billions of dollars (Pielke Jr. and Downton, 2000). Improved prediction of floods could reduce these costs substantially, in addition to reducing flood-induced loss of life.

Characteristics of water resources projects
• Uniqueness• Uncertainty• Socio-economic aspects• Forecasting (energy demand forecasting)• Irreversibility• Economy of scale

Problems face us:
• Growing population in developing countries• Uncertain impacts of climate change• Conflicts over shared frehwater resources• Thinning of ozone layer• Destruction of rain forest• Threats to wetlands, farmlands and other
renewable sources

Ongoing big projects in Turkey
• Water transfer to North Cyprus• Deriner Dam
![Page 22: WATER RESOURCES](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568165f7550346895dd91f2d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Water transfer to North Cyprus

• expected to cost at least 1 billion Turkish liras, or $550 million,
• using an experimental technology: a pipeline in the Mediterranean Sea.
• But environmental experts question the sustainability of transferring water out of its natural basin,
• The project calls for Turkey to transfer 75 million cubic meters of water a year to Northern Cyprus.
