The Mediterranean Experts on Climate and Environmental Change — MedECC —is an independent scientific network focused assessing available knowledge climate environmental change its associated risks in the basin. is a unique science-policy interface that aims to provides essential, region-specific information stakeholders, governments, citizens, enabling make effective, informed decisions. In 2024, published Special Report coastal basin, which assesses scientific, technical socio-economic...
The marine environment of the Istanbul Strait and Marmara Sea is confronted by severe environmental degradation as a result ship-originated pollution generated mainly tankers cargo vessels. Difficult natural conditions such intricate geometry Strait, sharp turns on navigation route, harsh meteorological conditions, transient changes in flow regime coupled with increasingly dense maritime traffic create serious risk accident. Significant amounts crude oil spill have been major cause...
Soke Plain, located within the Büyük Menderes River Basin is one of highest producers cotton in Türkiye. The overall irrigation water supply based on scarce conventional resources that are being depleted at an increasing pace due to climate change impacts B. Menderes. inclusive objective this research pave way for a "water efficiency action plan" incorporating non-conventional (alternative) Plain address adaptive management. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) principles help...
One of the main impacts urban sprawl in rapidly growing countries has been contamination coastal environments by waterborne pathogens, posing a critical risk to ecosystem and human health. Microbial source tracking (MST) robust tool identify origin these pathogens globally. This study compared occurrence human‐associated Bacteroides marker (BT‐α) with faecal indicator bacteria (FIB) an estuary (Golden Horn, Istanbul, Turkey). Faecal coliform (culture method), enterococci (both culture qPCR...
This paper represents the results of a case study interaction between sea level rise (SLR), subsidence and consequences this phenomenon on fresh water resources that may be subject to exacerbated salt-water intrusion. The possible reasons for rapid SLR at permanent tide gauge station located southern coast Marmara Sea have been investigated based time series data recorded since 1984. population in region relies mainly groundwater urban, tourism agricultural use, which severe risk with regard...
The population of Istanbul increased from three to fifteen million 1970 2018. city, which has no perennial fresh water resources within its metropolitan boundaries, long imported other basins. In this study, the performance a reservoir system fed by surface runoff and inter-basin transfer is investigated applied. Simulations are run for demand estimates with Gamma-distributed realizations monthly precipitation, based on 105-year temperature precipitation data. research shows that after 2060,...
Water demand for Istanbul is supplied both by impounded reservoirs located within its provincial boundaries and water transfer from Western Eastern regions in peripheral areas, South-West Black Sea region. The runoff coefficient defined as the ratio of streamflow to precipitation, plays a key role calculation surface yield catchment areas. In this paper, we present computation monthly coefficients an accurate estimation We obtain statistical parameters temperatures based on 105-year data...
The Golden Horn estuary has been one of the worst-affected coastal areas Istanbul (Turkey) as a result heavy and unplanned commercial industrial activities along shoreline, in particular, since early 1950s. is an internal port, heavily polluted by creek discharges conveying domestic loads. It also affected implementation ill-adapted structures upstream activities. Increased sediment deposition coupled with weakened water circulation hindered self-purification capacity owing to its particular...
Mucilage is a dense and highly viscous substance made up of extracellular polysaccharides produced secreted by the overgrowth various aquatic species. Rising ocean temperatures, as well human-induced stressors like inadequate treatment levels overfishing, are common causes such algal blooms. By mid-2020, Sea Marmara was covered with mucilage that threatens marine life, tourism, fisheries economy. Even though this not first outbreak in region-specific occurrence, it one worst. The phenomenon...
The growing demand for municipal water due to population increase and urbanization impels managers reconsider the existing traditional supply-sided management approach. Strengthening of (WDM) policies by improving use efficiency has been adopted as a key target in arid regions, particular. Indeed, increasing added value per m3 used is gaining importance, since it more environmentally-friendly strategy with regard resource than expanding infrastructure assets. Monitoring index commonly...
Eutrophication is a phenomenon that causes the degradation of water quality which results in negative impacts on living and non-living environment body. Therefore, monitoring, evaluation classification utmost importance for policy makers regional institutions/organizations order to be able assess sustainability bodies take timely relevant measures its rehabilitation when where required. Regional conventions such as Helsinki Convention, Oslo-Paris Barcelona Convention – Programme Assessment...
Gemilerden salınan sülfür oksit, azot oksit ve partiküler madde emisyonlarının, insan çevre sağlığı üzerinde doğrudan zararlı etkisi yapılan bilimsel çalışmalarla ortaya konulmuştur. İstanbul ilinin nüfusunun yaklaşık %30’u (yaklaşık 4/5 milyon) Boğazı’na 3/4 km mesafede yaşamaktadır Boğaz’da meydana gelen hava kirliliğine (NOX, SOX PM emisyonları) sürekli maruz kalmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 2015 yılında Boğazı’ndan geçiş yapan transit gemi trafiği (43.541 gemi) incelenmiş bu gemilerin...
After the 1970’s, an unprecedented urbanization and industrial activities have resulted in severe inland coastal water degradation Turkey. Infrastructure investment wastewater management has fallen behind schedule due to lack of required extensive financing implement large projects. On other hand, land-use planning been overlooked increased demand for housing legal gaps that weaken enforcement respect. Turkey is updating its regulations within framework current EU directives after becoming a...
