The Turkish population has been called on to mobilize efforts and take a “sensitive approach” in connection with water shortages. Minister of Agriculture Ibrahim Yumakli addressed citizens during an interview with CNN Türk.
In the context of the climate crisis, Turkey, he said, is one of the countries in the Mediterranean basin that will suffer the most. Therefore, according to the minister, a different policy in this area is required, which is facilitated by rising air temperatures, a series of dry days, water evaporation, etc.
August was the driest in Turkey in 33 years. Most of the country’s territory (with the exception of only a number of regions in the east and west) is included by meteorologists in the emergency zone due to drought.
