Evaluation of the Occupancy Rates of Some Dam Lakes in Sivas Province

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the water occupancy rate of some Dam Lakes in Sivas Province (Gazibey, 4 Eylül, Pusat-Özen) between 2010 and 2019 by using the DSI data. The occupancy rate of Gazibey dam lake between 2010 and 2019 was calculated average as 28.58%. The 4 Eylül dam lake between 2012 and 2019 years, the occupancy rate was calculated average as 31.86%, and the occupancy rate of the Pusat Özen dam lake was calculated average as 69.93% between 2012 and 2019. For this purpose, information on the sustainable use of waters in different dam lakes has been provided. Dams should be considered as a separate ecosystem and a water management plan should be prepared against water scarcity.
