Qualityless Water OECD Report
17.12.2008 Radical
In the "Water" section of the report prepared by the Economic and Cooperation Development Organization (OECD), which is addressed by the environmental performance of Turkey, the provision of water for the use of economies and population was understood that Turkey created an important part of the 8th and 9th National Development Plans.
[[T]]In these plans, the report taken into account that the purposes gradually met in relation to water management, "Mesela, now all the river basins have their own water management plan, and the water quality issues were referred to." In the report highlighted by the funds of the municipalities and the Provincial Bank of the Bank, the increased investment in water supply and waste water infrastructure, the rate of the population benefiting from waste water treatment plants was expressed to about 40 percent. [ [Raporda was recorded in 16 symptoms of waste water treatment plants, and 95 percent of all irrigation infrastructure were transferred to user associations and their use is becoming more efficient.
In accordance with the legal framework of the EU, the quality of surface waters to be used for the purpose of unloading dangerous substances into water, the protection of waters against agricultural nitrate pollution, the treatment of urban waste water and the use of cleaning water with fish cultivation, was highlighted that a number of regulations are applied in the application, both water quality and water management are an important step to control the Ministry of Environment and Forest.
"However, in many water mass, surface water quality continues to take place at a low level, or reportedly, due to insufficient pollution control, has reached dangerous levels in some large municipalities," the report was continued as follows: "Despite the fact that there is a progress record, it is still often discharged to rivers and coastal water, 53 percent of the total industrial welded waste water, including mercury, lead, chromium and zinc. Due to the leakage caused by waste water and waste areas, underground water quality and levels are also concerned. The rate of undoubted water usage and loss (non-fatigue uses, leakages) is about 55 percent. Waste water services are still priced under the cost of industrial and agricultural use, despite the increasing of drinking water prices. This condition causes water to be used in an inefficient way, heavy water infrastructure needs and heavy debt of municipalities. The pollution of nitrate and agricultural medicine caused by agriculture continues. Two of the agricultural land are under the threat of erosion. Large-scale hydraulic engineering works such as Dams, continues to be an important feature of water management for the purpose of economic development and population needs.
Raporda was included in the status detection as well as some recommendations. In the report on the importance of the adoption of a comprehensive "Water Law" that provides the demand and supply balance, the following recommendations were included: [
-To further development of water management on the basis of the basin basin, to mention both quantity and quality problems, to create basin councils on the basis of pilot projects in order to collaborate and collaborate between authorities and water users (belediyes, industries, farmers).
- Supporting better water supply and waste water infrastructure, water
] promote investments to reduce the water loss and water loss.
- Promote reasonable pricing for domestic, industrial and agricultural use, efficiency, cost improvement and eucalability considerations and water services.
-Enhancing efforts to promote compliance with waste water legislation for the preparation.
-Determining areas exposed to complex food pollution, operating plans for pollution, good farming practices rules, effective inspection and application.
-Supporting efforts to promote water monitoring, analysis of health and economic effects of water pollution.
