This thesis will analyze the rift in the water metabolism of Ankara by examining the construction boom focusing mostly on the last 24 years. During this study, the metabolic rift, previously used by Marx to show changes in agriculture and urbanization, will be shown with various examples. Main theoretical framework will be urban metabolism and environmental sociology to understand the relationship between urban and nature as a social process, each affecting each other and in a dialectical relationship. We will try to create a framework that understands the city as a metabolic formation, with inflows and outflows of materials including capital, labor, and nature. This framework will help to discuss the impacts of urban sprawl and unplanned construction on more than one level on water. Water will be understood as both a variable and determinant; as a dependent being impacted by anything, and as a powerful resource shaping lands and everyday life.
