F.5.2. Basin Rehabilitation

Basin Rehabilitation is the work carried out to improve the social, cultural and economic welfare
of the people living in the basin by taking technical, cultural and administrative measures to
ensure the natural balance between soil, water and vegetation. The work carried out in Türkiye’s
water basins remains within the jurisdiction and authority of many state institutions.
In addition, it has been understood that the participation of other interest groups such as local
people and non-governmental organizations in basin rehabilitation works is of great importan-
ce for sustainable natural resource management. For this reason, since the 1990s, “Integrated
Basin Rehabilitation Plans and Projects” that include ecological, social, cultural and economic
dimensions have been carried out with the participation of all sectors and all interest groups in
the area on a water basin basis. In this context, 25 integrated basin projects prepared with our
internal resources are listed below.
