Urban water scarcity and drought: A case study from semi-arid Bursa, Türkiye. By Semanur Coskun (Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Türkiye), Abdullah Akbas (Bursa Uludağ University, Türkiye).
As one of Türkiye’s fastest growing cities, Bursa needs to consider how available water resources can be managed to supply a growing population in a time of climate change. Here, Semanur Coskun and Abdullah Akbas discuss their analysis of the city’s main water supply, the Doğancı Dam, to understand and examine the role of climate and population changes, and how these variables interact with water scarcity in the urban center.
