Klzlllrmak river, with a drainage area of more than 75,000 km2, is the longest river among the rivers which originate and end in Turkey. A coupled atmospheric-hydrologic model based real-time precipitation and flood forecasting system for Klzlllrmak river basin was developed and became operational recently. This real-time forecasting system utilizes the Global Forecast System (GFS) global numerical weather forecasts as the initial conditions and the boundary conditions for the mesoscale atmospheric model WRF (weather research and forecasting) over Klzlllrmak river basin. The WRF regional atmospheric model dynamically downscales the GFS global numerical weather forecasts over Klzlllrmak river basin and provides the initial and boundary conditions to the snow model component of the forecasting system. Details of the atmospheric and snow model components of the forecasting system will be presented separately. Here, the physically based hydrologic model component, WEHY, of the atmospheric-hydrologic model based precipitation and flood forecasting system for Klzlllrmak watershed will be described and some preliminary results will be presented.

Water-Food Nexus in Sakarya Watershed Özel, Beyza; Başkan, Oğuz; Alp, Emre (null; 2019-06-19) Sakarya River is the Turkey’s third longest river and the Sakarya watershed covers 8% of the surface area of Turkey. Significant agricultural activities accounts for most of the water withdrawals in the upper Sakarya Watershed. Within the scope of water-food nexus, water efficiency of agricultural irrigation have to be improved to aid sustainable water and agricultural management in the study area. The water potential and water uses were evaluated by Water Evaluation Planning System (WEAP) model in Upper Sa...
Management strategies for the Lower Seyhan catchment Onur, AK; Ekemen, E; Soyupak, S; Yurteri, C (1999-01-01) The Seyhan river has a total catchment area of 20,731 km(2) with major pollution sources located downstream of the Seyhan Dam in Adana. The so-called Lower Seyhan, is under the threat of nor only domestic and industrial wastewater discharges originating from the metropolitan area of Adana, but also agricultural wastes of the fertile Cukurova Plain. In this study, the present and future water qualify characteristics of the Lower Seyhan have been investigated by means of a mathematical modelling study based o...
Hydropower production without sacrificing environment: a case study of Ilisu Dam and Hasankeyf Yalcin, Emrah; Tiğrek, Şahnaz (2016-01-01) The Ilisu Dam and HEPP Project, on the Tigris River in the South-Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, has been under debate for more than half a century due to its possible adverse effects on the environment. In particular, the proposed inundation of the archaeological sites around Hasankeyf has prompted strong criticism from national and international organizations. The primary reason for the administration's insistence on construction of the dam is its energy production capacity. The present study is an ass...
Integrated Watershed Management for Lake Mogan with the focus of Agricultural Diffuse Pollution Özcan, Zeynep; Başkan, O; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem; Kentel, Elçin; Alp, Emre (2015-09-25) Lake Mogan located 20 km south of Ankara, Turkey has a watershed area of 970 km2, and it is dominated by areas with dry agricultural practices (50%) and graze lands (31%). Intense agricultural activities and fast urbanization rates are the most important factors affecting the water quality in Lake Mogan. There has been several management alternatives suggested to improve the water quality in Lake Mogan. In 2008, the municipality implemented lake augmentation strategy to increase the water level since it dro...
Evaluation of heavy metal contents, polyaromatic petroleum hydrocarbons and some inorganic pollutants in the south Marmara rivers, Turkey Yılmaz, Ayşen; Yemenicioglu, S; Aksoy, S; Torunoglu, T (1998-05-01) Nilufer River is the main receiving body of water for the industrial and domestic wastes of 1.000.000 populated Bursa metropolitan area and it combines with Kocasu River before entering the sea at the south Marmara region, Turkey. Variations in concentrations of Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cl, SO4, PO4, NH4, NO3, NO2, BOD5, COD, polyaromatic petroleum hydrocarbons (PAH), pH and some heavy metals (Hg, Cd, Cr, Zn, Pb) were seasonally determined in 1991-94 period. The results showed that these rivers are included in th...
