Yapay zeka destekli sulama sistemleri Türkiye geneline yaygınlaştırılacak
Executive Summary
AI-generatedTurkey is actively modernizing its water management infrastructure to combat the effects of climate change, as discussed at COP31. The State Hydraulic Works (DSÄ°) highlighted the shift toward high-efficiency systems, including AI-supported irrigation and the use of closed-loop piping to drastically reduce water waste. These efforts are aimed at optimizing the country's water resources, particularly in the agricultural sector.
Key Insights
- Agricultural irrigation consumes 79% of Turkey's total water resources, making it the primary focus for efficiency improvements.
- Closed, pressurized piping systems can achieve a 50% water saving, which can be further increased by using drip and sprinkler methods.
- AI-supported irrigation uses moisture sensors to deliver precise amounts of water directly to the root zone, minimizing unnecessary usage.
- The country is implementing wastewater reuse projects, treating municipal sewage for use in agricultural irrigation in regions like Kilis.
- To mitigate flood risks, 533 early warning systems have been established, starting with the high-risk Black Sea region.
- Urban water networks suffer from significant losses, with approximately 32% of city water being lost before reaching consumers.
