Summary
The changes and the problems which will happen in relation to climate change, and the measures to be taken to reduce these problems constitute the most important global environmental problem of the century we are living in. In Turkey, water is the most critical resource for agricultural ecosystems. Variations in water resources and the advent of drought or increased runoff have significant implications for the water supply and for agriculture. Changes in water resources associated with climate change and their implications for agricultural production are also important for future water resources planning and agricultural sustainable development strategy.
