Elazığ ili 2050 yılı su ihtiyacının karşılanması amacıyla Dicle havzasından su temini

Population projections are significant for managing and planning the research area. Today, due to the increasing population and the increasing use of water, proper management of water has great importance. Elazığ province, which is the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, is one of the provinces that may experience water shortages in the future with its growing population and developing industry. For this case, new water resources needed to meet the water needs of the growing population and the burgeoning industry. In this study, the method of supplying water from the Hamza Bey Dam, a tributary of the Murat River, evaluated to meet the water needs of the calculated population in 2050 examined by using population forecasting methods and exponential regression analysis. The calculated population for the year 2050 estimated roundly 926964 and the total water requirement for this population calculated as 51513758 m3. Also, the total water capacity of Hamza Bey Dam determined by using geographical information systems and hydrological modelling. According to this result, 53590000 m3 of water could be supplied in an area of 3366824 m2 determined at an altitude of 1140 m
