North Cyprus had been in water scarcity right from 1960 to date due to limited fresh water resources, climate impact and high rate of evaporation.

Produktbeschreibung
North Cyprus had been in water scarcity right from 1960 to date due to limited fresh water resources, climate impact and high rate of evaporation. There exist no perennial rivers as such the Island depends largely on ground water as main source of supply. Gradual increase in water demand (domestic, industrial and irrigation) had lead to excessive extraction of fresh water from available aquifers in the past years, this leads to unexpected high water quality problem as a result of sea water intrusion making the scarcity more alarming. This book provides update on trend of water budget of North Cyprus based on available data up to year 2012. This was achieved by assessing water demand and supply for year 2011 and 2012 and then comparing the results with that of previous researches. The manner in which domestic water demand fluctuate over time and that of irrigation were all discussed, conveyance losses, desalination and present capacity of sanitary treatment were also investigated and provided. In addition, assessment of agricultural economy was conducted on 21 groups of crops that are grown in North Cyprus in terms of water consumption and incomes generated.
