Drought in Turkey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drought is common in Turkey, especially in the south and center of the country, with 2021 being the driest in 2 decades.[1] Droughts are forecast to occur more frequently due to climate change, and 2023 began with drought.[2] Most water loss is due to poor irrigation. In 2022 the World Bank said that “without reform, a 10% fall in water supply in Turkey could reduce GDP by 6%”.[3]: 11
