Dam water receded, waste came to light

Drone footage showed that a large amount of garbage, from plastic bottles to household waste, appeared on the banks of the dam.

The plummeting water levels caused by the drought have created a grim scene. The water level has receded by several meters, revealing a wealth of waste, from fishing nets to plastic waste.

Experts are calling for water conservation measures to combat water loss, emphasizing that waste dumped into nature is causing significant harm to both the environment and water resources. They also noted that Istanbul's dam occupancy rates have fallen to critical levels, and they emphasized the need for citizens to be more mindful of their water use.
