I find the municipal measures in place. We stay at the summer house on the Yeşil Dardanos site. We use well water for watering the garden here. We do not participate in any agricultural production at the summer site to avoid wasting too much water. Even well water is running out over time. We do it with a sprinkler system to save.

If the unconscious water consumption of our people is a treasure, the seas will not last. “ said.
