Occupancy rates of dams in Istanbul were a matter of curiosity after snowfall: Here is the latest situation in the dams...
In Istanbul, which has been facing the threat of drought, recent precipitation has provided a lifeline to the dams. The occupancy rate, which fell to critical levels in November, has exceeded 70 percent as of February. Experts predict that the level will increase even further with snowmelt and expected rainfall.
The drought experienced in Istanbul in recent years had brought dam levels to an alarm point.
In the dams, which saw historic lows in 2023, the occupancy rate had dropped to 27.75 percent in November 2024. However, the heavy rain and snowfall that have been effective in recent weeks have significantly relieved Istanbul's water resources.
According to data from the Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration (İSKİ), as of Saturday, February 22, 2025, the occupancy rate in the dams reached 70.05 percent.
Water levels are expected to rise even further, especially with the melting following the snowfall.
Meteorology experts state that the heavy rainfall that will be effective again in Istanbul next week will make a positive contribution to the dams.
Here is the latest situation in Istanbul's dams with data:
