Water Resources of Turkey
暫譯: 土耳其的水資源

這本書深入描述了土耳其的水資源，這個國家擁有獨特的地理位置，從歐洲的地中海延伸到中東。其多樣的地理、地形、水文、地質和氣候反映在其水域的多樣特徵中。此外，由於其地理位置，土耳其擁有大量的跨界河流流域，必須與鄰國共享水資源，這有時會導致水資源衝突。

土耳其也是一個有趣的發展中國家的例子，試圖適應普遍的水資源管理策略，同時面臨法律、制度、經濟和能力發展等問題。它長期以來一直是一個水資源豐富的國家，但由於人口增加、資源使用效率低下以及氣候變化和環境退化的影響，情況現在正在改變。

這本書對於國內和國際組織以及水資源專業人士都非常有用。在該地區氣候變化、水資源管理問題和跨界水域的背景下，它具有更重要的意義。

Prof.Dr. Nilgun B. Harmancioglu, a Professor of Hydrology and Water Resources, was actively involved in teaching and research at DEU Faculty of Engineering from 1976 to 2017 (formerly the Aegean University from1976 to 1982).
