The effect of the dams to be built at the Munzur project on the flood protection structures within the project region

In this study the effects of the dams that are built and planned to be built within the Munzur Project on flood protection structures which exist in the region are analyzed. The maps of many various types used in the study have been formed by means of the Geographical Information System. The Geographical Information System as a whole is consisted of the equipment, software and the staff employed for the gathering, computerizing, storing, processing, analyzing and presentation of the graphical and non-graphical information about the earth surface for a specific aim. It has been seen by the help of the Geographical Information System that the flood protection structures in central Tunceli will be left under the reservoir area of the Bozkaya Dam. Also the flood protection structures on Paşadüzü Stream in Ovacık town will be left under the reservoir area of the Konaktepe Dam. These two flood protection structures will lose their functions as they will be left under the reservoir areas of those dams. Various types of maps that are obtained for the Munzur region will be essential resources for the studies to be made in the future.
