Since the early 1990s, the integrated water resources management (IWRM) approach has been championed and adopted by some of the industrialized states. The present paper analyzes the IWRM approach through an historical narrative while emphasizing divergences in the priorities and requirements of the developing and developed countries. Then, the paper examines water resources management in Turkey taking into consideration the political and economic structure of the country. Turkey, being the accession country to the European Union (EU), has undertaken various obligations in the adaptation process required for EU membership. Hence, the paper looks into the making of the EU water policy since the 1970s with particular attention to the Water Framework Directive (WFD), its basic objectives and rules, as well as the compatibilities and differences of it with the Turkish water policy.

An NGO role in enhancing integrated coastal management in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea: The MEDCOAST experience Ozhan, E (Elsevier BV, 2000-01-01) In the early 1990s, integrated coastal management (ICM) in the Mediterranean basin found general acceptance as an important issue both at national and international levels, and since then it has been, though slowly, steadily developed. Donor organizations such as the European Union and the World Bank, and the UNEP's Mediterranean Action Plan played catalyst roles in this development by initiating and supporting pilot projects. In 1992, the European Union launched the Mediterranean programs in which the envi...
Optimal operation of water distribution pumps considering water quality Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2000-07-01) A new methodology has been developed for determining the optimal operation of water distribution system pumps with water quality considerations. The methodology is based upon describing the operation as a discrete time optimal scheduling problem that can be used to determine the optimal operation schedules of the pumps in distribution systems. The solution methodology is based upon a mathematical programming approach resulting in a large-scale nonlinear programming problem that cannot be solved using existi...
Variable renewable energy technologies in the Turkish electricity market: Quantile regression analysis of the merit-order effect Sirin, Selahattin Murat; Yılmaz, Berna Nisa (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01) The share of variable renewable energy sources in power supply has increased significantly in many countries; however, this increase has also created problems in electricity markets. While the average day-ahead market price has declined in several markets (the merit-order effect), the remuneration mechanisms in some countries have to be revised due to the surge in financial costs. Yet, further research is needed to understand the implications of the merit-order effect for remuneration mechanisms thoroughly....
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....
Evaluating the success of public participation in water resources management: five key constituents Oezerol, Guel; Newig, Jens (IWA Publishing, 2008-01-01) Public participation ( PP) is increasingly expected to enhance the effectiveness of water resources management. This is recognized in recent legislation such as the European Union Water Framework Directive. We identify five key constituents that affect the success of PP processes and which can be used as indicators thereof. These comprise: 1) the scope of the participants; 2) communication with the public; 3) capacity building; 4) timing; and 5) financing of participation. They are based on the management o...
