May Dam, located in the Ahmediye neighborhood of Konya's Akören district, was built in 1960 for irrigation and flood prevention. However, due to low rainfall and drought in the region recently, the dam has experienced severe drying.
This situation has rendered the dam, which served as a vital water source for agricultural activities in the region, dysfunctional. With the water level in the dam completely receding, it was observed that cracks formed on the ground and the fish living in the dam perished.
