In Edirne, which has experienced the driest period in recent years, the water level in rivers, lakes and dams is falling with each passing day. The occupancy rate at the Kayalıköy dam in Kırklareli, which provides Edirne with drinking water, has also decreased to 3 percent. As the water level at the dam decreased, the Edirne Municipality announced that a 36-hour water shutoff will be applied starting today. The municipality announced that the city’s drinking water will be supplied from the Süloğlu dam and started a connection study from the town of Küçüküler, 30 kilometers from the city center.
THE PIPES OF THE DRYING DAM RUN WITH WATER
With the drop in the water level at the Kayalıköy Dam, the pipes that carried the drinking water also came out above the water. It was indicated that 159 thousand decars of agricultural land were also irrigated from the dam, which was largely dragged into its channel, causing it to dry out.
Edirne Mayor Recep Gürkan conducted examinations at Kayalıköy Dry Dam and made a statement to journalists. Gürkan said: “Unfortunately, due to the extreme drought in our region, despite all the efforts of DSI, the water level at the Kayalıköy dam fell to a critical level of 3 percent. The pipes from which we get water and the shaman’s system have reached exposure level. We will continue to take our water from the dam. There are a thousand steel pipes that carry water from here to Edirne. From here we take drinking water to our treatment facility in Edirne. We also have a 30-kilometer separate line from Süloğlu dam. There is a point where the 30-kilometer Süloğlu line and 58-kilometer line from Kayalıköy dam meet within the boundaries of Süloğlu, our county. We have been working here for about 6 -7 days. We are connecting these two lines with preventive valves. Then connect the two lines with DSI technical support to provide water to Edirne. We drag. When the water runs out in S üloğlu, we drink water from Kayalı, and when the water runs out in Kayalı, from the Süloğlu dam, we continue our joint work with the DSİ Edirne Regional Directorate not to leave the people of Edirne without water. We can say that the Süloğlu dam will satisfy Edirne’s water needs for 6 months, “he said.

“While the drinking water requirement of our Edirne province is satisfied with the Süloğlu dam, the Edirne municipality has started to provide drinking water from the Kayalıköy dam to the city, stating that the amount of manganese in the water is high and this increases the cost of treatment. The water level in the dam has decreased at the water intake due to the drought of the year 2020. For this reason, it was decided to give the city approximately 22 million cubic meters of water from the Süloğlu dam and the other dam as drinking water to prevent the city from shortage of drinking water. Due to the fact that the Süloğlu dam will be connected to the transmission line of the Kayalıköy dam and the 22 million cubic meters of water located here to connect to the common water supply line, the municipality of Edirne has prepared and connected the necessary valves and mechanical equipment. of water needs to be cut off. The municipality has determined 36 hours s for the connection and every precaution has been taken to complete the connection in a shorter time. Edirne’s annual drinking water requirement is 20 million cubic meters. The Süloğlu dam has enough water for the city for 1 year. “
