There is a critical shoratge of water in Istanbul's reservoirs. Its amount dropped to 17.3%.
Every day the city consumes more than 3 million cubic meters of water, while the reservoirs are becoming shallow. Only 2.6% of the water remains in the Sazlıdere reservoir. The authorities ask residents and guests of the city to use this important resource sparingly.
Today, the water remains in Istanbul for 30-40 days. Heavy rainfall could improve the situation.
