A NEW FIELD OPENED TO IRRIGATION: SURUC PLAIN IRRIGATION PROJECT AND CURRENT STATUS QUO
In the world, the need for food and water shows increase in parallel with the increase in world population. However, water resources are limited and current drought resulting from global climate changes leads to decrease in that important resource gradually. Unfortunately, agricultural sector have b...
