Salt Lake threatened

Aksaray University Faculty of Engineering Department of Map Engineering Professor. Dr. Semih Ekercin said that the Salt Lake, which came to the point of absence with the threat of drought, entered into the process of recovery with precipitation in recent years.

In response to this positive development in Lake Tuz, Ekercin, defending that the new saltfields planned to be opened are a negative development for the lake, "The Lake Tuz is planned to open the area with 10 new salts in the Lake, and this pool is the big threat to speed up the drying of the lake.

Ekercin recorded that the water reserve in Lake is insufficient even for businesses that produce salt, and the lake of the new salt pools would divide into two, expressed:

] The healing, which occurs in the last few years in the water reserve in the fertile, is a condition due to record precipitation and is temporary. Water resources in the region affecting water reserve in Salt Lake are not planned. Finally, the lake is made from the north to the end-ground source, the water reserve of the lake is weakened. The water reserve in the lake will be divided into two parts, even in most periods of time, even for the current 3 business, which naturally produce salt, while the lake will remain insufficient in the critical point.

]The ecological balance of the fertile

Ekercin highlighted that the new saltfields opened in June will disrupt the ecological balance of Salt Lake, continued as follows:

]'New sets will be made for planned salt pools. The natural structure of the lake will be destroyed with millions of tons of stones and soils to be used for construction of these sets. The set that will be created will completely prevent the water passage from the north of the lake by blocking the water balance of the lake. The salt formation in the lake will not occur in the water-reaching cut of the lake because it is directly connected to the amount of water. Salt Lake, where global warming can not be dried in this context, will be dried with millions of tons of stones and soil. '

Ekercin, which emphasizes that there may not be enough water for salt pools in the period, salt enterprises during the drought, which are seen in the region between "2002-2007, used water from the lake and under the ground to reach sufficient water level in salt pools. The businesses that will attract water to salt pools from the lake and under the ground, will dry the rest of the lake. We started seeing sandblasting sites that are formed in areas where water does not reach. As a result, the water battle, which will live in the wolf period if it is allowed to new businesses and salt pools in Salt Lake, will turn Salt Lake into sand desert.
