POSSIBLE HYDROGRAPHIC EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON LOWER PART OF TRANSBOUNDARY MERİÇ RIVER BASIN (TURKEY)

Year 2013, Volume: 14 Issue: 2, 77 - 85, 01.08.2015

Abstract

Meriç (Maritsa, Evros) River is not only a transboundary river but also a border river among Turkey, Bulgaria and Greece. 65% of its catchment area is within the borders of Bulgaria. A portion of the lower part of Meriç River constitutes the Turkey-Greece border, and the other portion of it flows in Turkey. The effects of global climate change are observed in the Meriç River Basin. The changes on precipitation and temperature over the upper part of Meric River Basin situated in Bulgaria cause major problems in the lower part of the river basin in Turkey. Climate changes that have occurred in Bulgaria and projections on climate change over region, the Maritsa River water management approaches, Maritsa River floods and water shortages in Turkey were investigated in this study. As a result; flood and water scarcity problems, deterioration of water quality, ecosystem problems and socio-economic problems of the local population are increasing in the section of the river basin in Turkey. Prevention and/or mitigation of these problems depend on the effective implementation of integrated transboundary watershed management strategies in the joint coordination among Turkey, Bulgaria and Greece.

İklim Değişikliğinin Sınır Aşan Meriç Nehri Havası’nın Aşağı Bölümündeki Olası Hidrografik Etkileri

Year 2013, Volume: 14 Issue: 2, 77 - 85, 01.08.2015

Abstract

Meriç (Maritsa, Evros) Nehri; Türkiye, Bulgaristan ve Yunanistan arasında, hem sınır aşan ve hem de sınır oluşturan bir nehirdir. Su toplama havzasının %65’i Bulgaristan sınırları içindedir. Meriç Nehri’nin aşağı çığırı ise; bir bölümü Türkiye sınırları içinde ve bir bölümü ise Türkiye-Yunanistan sınırını oluşturur. Küresel iklim değişikliğinin etkileri Meriç Nehri Havzası’nda da görülmektedir. Bulgaristan’da kalan, havzanın yukarı bölümünde meydana gelen sıcaklık ve yağış özelliklerindeki değişiklikler; havzanın Türkiye’deki bölümünde önemli problemlere neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada; Bulgaristan’da meydana gelen iklim değişiklikleri ve bu konudaki öngörüler, Meriç Nehri su yönetimi yaklaşımları, Türkiye’deki Meriç Nehri taşkınları ve su yetersizlikleri araştırılmıştır. Sonuçta; Meriç Nehri Havzası’nın Türkiye’deki bölümünde; taşkın ve su yetersizliği sorunları, su kalitesi kötüleşmesi, ekosistem problemleri ve yerel halkın sosyo-ekonomik problemleri giderek artmaktadır. Bu sorunların önlenmesi ya da zararlarının azaltılması; Türkiye, Bulgaristan ve Yunanistan ortaklaşa koordinasyonunda, sınır aşan sular bütünleşik havza yönetimi stratejilerinin etkili şekilde uygulanmasına bağlıdır
