Southeast Turkey Water, Food, and Energy Nexus: A Comprehensive Development Case Study

This case study examines the Water, Food, and Energy Nexus in Southeastern Turkey, focusing on the management of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, which provide over 52.9 billion cubic meters of water annually. With a project cost estimated at $23 billion, 29% of Turkey's water potential will be harnessed, facilitating irrigation across 1.82 million hectares of land. The program includes the construction of 22 dams and 19 hydropower plants, aiming for a total capacity of 7476 MW and annual energy production of 27 billion kWh, addressing critical needs in irrigation, energy, and overall community development.

  1. Case Study Southeastern Turkey Water, Food and Energy Nexus High-Level Panel of the 6th World Water Forum Submittedby: Turkish Water Institute WorkingGroup Meeting December 9, 2011

  2. Water • Euphrates and the Tigristogether flow more than 52.9 billion cubic meters of water a year.  • Upon the completion: 29 % of the total water potential of Turkey will be managed • The total cost of the project is estimated as 23 billion US $.

  3. Food • 20 % of total irrigable land in Turkey is in this region. • Irrigationof 1.82 million hectares of land. • From 2002-2009 an increase %51 of irrigeableland.

  4. Energy • The water resources development component of the program envisages the construction of 22 dams and 19 hydraulic power plants. • The total installed capacity of power plants is 7476 MW and projected annual energy production reaches 27 billion kWh. • The region represents 28 % of Turkey's total hydraulic potential mainly with the rivers Euphrates and Tigris.

  5. TheNexus • The development program encompasses such sectors as irrigation, hydraulic energy, agriculture, rural and urban infrastructure, forestry, education and health.
