The research was conducted through the last three months and has followed a bottom up participatory method. The issues and problems with water resources in Turkey were identified with the help of an online form, ensuring a systematic information flow from the volunteer representatives in 81 cities. So far 70 threats to water resources in 37 cities have been identified and revealed in a 82 page report.
