Track: Environmental Management
GIS Applications Within the Eastern Anatolia Watershed Rehabilitation Project
Fred ErnstSahin Dengiz
This project has been developed as a result of an agreement between the World Bank and Turkey. The objective is the conservation and development of vegetative structure and water resources, prevention of erosion, rehabilitation of rangelands, and improvement of living conditions of the villagers over the middle basin of the Euphrates River. Experiences so far have shown that an efficient management of data covering a wide range of environmental and socioeconomic fields can only be done by means of GIS integration. The results of a GIS implementation for thirty-three microcatchments with special focus on monitoring are presented.
