Workshop onDEVELOPING REGIONAL COOPERATION

FOR SHARED KARST AQUIFER MANAGEMENT IN SEE27-28 June 2008

Thessaloniki, Greece

Monitoring data and existing information

Country Presentation from Turkey

Plan of presentation

1. Brief description of monitoring networks (surface and

groundwater)

2. Monitoring data: aquisition, analysis and publication

3. Documentation sources: ministries, institutions, WEB

pages

Under the scope of Planning studies, the most important

formulations of projects are prepared by using the long term

data collections and investigations

Data collection activitiesin planning studies are implimented

with the coordination of different engineering fields

consisting of gauging, observation, survey, soil and

drainage, agricultural economy, hydrology, environmental

impact assesment, geology, mapping and material science.

The hydrometeorological network of General Directorate of

Turkish State Hydraulics Works (DSI) comprises the following

stations:• River flow Mesaurement 1153• Lake level observation 134• Snow survey station 155• Meteorlogical observation stations 356• Water quality observation (sediment) 1000• Groundwater observation stations monthly 504,

seasonal 2320, 182 wells equipped with water level

recorder (Limnigraphs )

The above figures are those of operating stations. In the past

more stations were operated for certain period prior to project

start but closed after the completion of the project.

Also General Directorate of Power Resources Survey and

Development Administration (EIE) founded in 1935, being

governed by the provisions of private law and

administrated in accordance with commercial methods,

having the status of a juridical person and being bound to

the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, carrying

out engineering service with opportunity of production of

electrical energy is an investor public organization.

One of the main tasks of EIE is to make hydrological studies

and Geotechnical researches. In this contest

River flow Mesaurement 798 (294 open, 504 closed)

Channel gaugging stations 23 (8 open, 15 closed)

Lake level observations

with level recorder 24 (11open, 13 closed)

with staff gauge, perodically 64 (37 open 27 closed)

Snow survey station 90 (54 open, 36 closed)

Water quality observation 270 (225 open,45 closed)

Sediment Observations 231 (144 open, 87 closed)

General Directorate of State Meteorological Office (DMI) is

responsible for both weather forecast and meteorological

data collection. At present the number of operating stations

all over Turkey areas follows:

Synoptic stations for weather forecast 118

Large Climatological Stations for agricultural purpose 259

Small Climatological Stations (only minimum, maximum

temperature precipitation and wind observations)

for local agricultural purpose 33

Mobile Meteo. station (AWOS) for aviation purpose 61

Coastal Meteorological station (AWOS) for marines 29

General Directorate of Agriculture Research (TAGEM)

(former General Directorate of Rural Service (GDRS))

Operating rainfall stations at 12 Agricultural Research

Institutes

State farms

Forest directorates

Highway maintenance units

Some University Laboratories

They all are operating rainfall observation stations for their

projects at some regions, only for a certain period

Long term mean annual precipitation totals (mm) of Turkey

Annual precipitation in Turkey

The annual precipitation of earth is about 1000 mm, and

in Turkey this figure is 640 mm. So for water security, the

amount available is to be used more efficiently. The

second problem is areal and time distribution of

precipitaion. So a wise regulation is the second must.

Real time data which are collected automatically:

1) Flow Data from DSI and EIE hydrometric stations,

2) Rainfall Data from DMI Automatic Weather Observation Stations

3) Radar data from DMI

4) Numerical weather prediction data from DMI

TEFER Project (Turkey Emergency Flood and Earthquake Recovery Project)

Aim of TEFER Project is to forecast the probable flood in Turkey.

All of these data are sent to MIKE-11 flood prediction software.

TURKSAT1-C satellite is used for the real time data transfer.

MIKE View and MIKE 11 GIS are used for the digital mapping studies
