Natural salt lakes with temperature gradients are briefly reviewed. Previous work on artificial solar ponds for energy production is also examined. The experience gained from more than twenty non-convecting solar ponds encourages their economic utilization in the future. In addition to the technical and physical requirements for solar pond construction, four basic requirements (sunshine, land, water and salt) are pointed out. In Turkey, these are abundantly found. Salt is the most important and expensive element, constituting about 15–20% of the initial investment of a solar pond. Salt can also be regarded as a complementary “fuel” for a solar pond, since it should be continuously replenished during the operation of the system. In this respect, salt resources in the country were studied. It is recommended that a survey over the Salt Lake be carried out to discover possible natural temperature gradients for heat generation.

Drought-induced changes in nutrient concentrations and retention in two shallow Mediterranean lakes subjected to different degrees of management Ozen, Arda; Karapinar, Burcu; Kucuk, Ismail; Jeppesen, Erik; Beklioğlu, Meryem (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-06-01) While extensive knowledge exists on the relationship between nutrient loading and nutrient concentrations in lakes in the cold temperate region, few studies have been conducted in warm lakes, not least in warm arid lakes. This is unfortunate as a larger proportion of the world's lakes will be situated in arid climates in the future due to climate change and a larger proportion will suffer from a higher frequency of intensive drought. We conducted a comprehensive 11-13 year mass balance study in two intercon...
Evaluation of GPM-era Global Satellite Precipitation Products over Multiple Complex Terrain Regions Derin, Yagmur; Anagnostou, Emmanouil; Berne, Alexis; Borga, Marco; Boudevillain, Brice; Buytaert, Wouter; Chang, Che-Hao; Chen, Haonan; Delrieu, Guy; Hsu, Yung Chia; Lavado-Casimiro, Waldo; Manz, Bastian; Moges, Semu; Nikolopoulos, Efthymios I.; Sahlu, Dejene; Salerno, Franco; Rodriguez-Sanchez, Juan-Pablo; Vergara, Humberto J.; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil (MDPI AG, 2019-12-02) The great success of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and its successor Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) has accelerated the development of global high-resolution satellite-based precipitation products (SPP). However, the quantitative accuracy of SPPs has to be evaluated before using these datasets in water resource applications. This study evaluates the following GPM-era and TRMM-era SPPs based on two years (2014-2015) of reference daily precipitation data from rain gauge networks in te...
Climate Change Effects on Runoff, Catchment Phosphorus Loading and Lake Ecological State, and Potential Adaptations Jeppesen, Erik; Kronvang, Brian; Meerhoff, Mariana; Sondergaard, Martin; Hansen, Kristina M.; Andersen, Hans E.; Lauridsen, Torben L.; Liboriussen, Lone; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Ozen, Arda; Olesen, Jorgen E. (Wiley, 2009-09-01) Climate change may have profound effects on phosphorus (P) transport in streams and on take eutrophication. Phosphorus loading from land to streams is expected to increase in northern temperate coastal regions due to higher winter rainfall and to a decline in warm temperate and and climates. Model results suggest a 3.3 to 16.5% increase within the next 100 yr in the P loading of Danish streams depending on soil type and region. In takes, higher eutrophication can be expected, reinforced by temperature-media...
Geographic information systems (GIS) for the determination of inundation maps of Lake Mogan, Turkey Merzi, N; Aktas, MT (Informa UK Limited, 2000-09-01) The use of geographic information systems (GIS) allows for a very efficient analysis of spatial hydrologic data for water resources projects especially for water control studies. rn this respect, flood hydrographs for Mogan basin, Turkey for different durations and return periods are determined by using Soil Conservation Service (SCS) method. The basic parameter of the SCS method, curve number (CN), is evaluated by using GIS employing digital land use and hydrologic soil group data derived from analog maps....
Composite landfill liner design with Ankara clay, Turkey Met, İlker; Akgün, Haluk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-04-01) This study presents an overview of the geotechnical properties of the clayey soils, referred to as "Ankara clay", at two sites of the Ankara region in an attempt to design a landfill profile composed of a high density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane/clay composite liner through the Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP) model and the Water Balance Method. The geotechnical properties of the landfill layers along with the water balance factors (i.e., evapotranspiration, precipitation, temperatur...
