Water scarcity in northwestern Turkey has reached a critical point after the Kadıköy Dam, a key drinking water source for the town of Keşan, effectively ran dry, according to Daily Sabah.
What's happening?
Authorities suspended all water withdrawals after reservoir levels dropped below what is known as "dead storage," and intensifying droughts linked to rising temperatures are pushing vital water systems to the brink.
"As the dam can no longer supply water without endangering aquatic life and fish populations, our Kadıköy Water Treatment Plant has been temporarily taken out of service," water official Bedri Kara said.
The Kadıköy Dam supplies drinking water to Keşan. The reservoir, designed to hold 56 million cubic meters of water, has dropped to below 1% capacity.
The dam is located in Edirne province near Turkey's borders with Greece and Bulgaria.
Prolonged drought, extreme summer heat and increased evaporation have driven the decline. According to the Turkish government, rainfall was 26% below the long-term average last year.
