Istanbul's reservoirs receive welcome boost in water levels
Recent rainfall has led to a significant increase in the water levels of Istanbul's reservoirs.
According to the Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration (İSKİ), the reservoirs, which had dipped to 16.18% capacity on November 11, have seen a resurgence. Continuous rainfall over the past two days has raised the overall capacity to 20.54%.
Notably, the Alibey Reservoir's level rose to 23.37%, while Büyükçekmece reached 7.19%, Darlık 30.7%, Elmalı 33.81%, Istrancalar 20.27%, Sazlıdere 5.7%, Terkos 12.49%, and Ömerli 40.14%. This increase is a positive development for Istanbul, heavily reliant on these reservoirs for its water supply.
