The first one is the case of the Gediz River Basin, neighbouring the city of Izmir, where water scarcity is a significant problem.
Water shortage is due basically to competition for water among various uses (water allocation problems) mainly irrigation with a total command area of 110,000 ha versus the domestic and fast growing industrial demand in the coastal zone, and environmental pollution although the basin experiences droughts from time to time.
Originally, the area received excess water from the Gediz River for much of the year, but since 1990, with restrictions on irrigation releases, the reserve suffers from water shortages.
