"Of course made interventions needed, work is being done. There are sudden drops because these are not normal seasonal rains. It is like 1,5 kilograms per hour and a problem has arisen. We have finished our brook breeding on a large scale. When we arrived in 2004, even in lighter rains like this, 5-6 thousand floods were reported to the fire brigade and İSKİ. Even in these rains it fell below 100. This precipitation is a bit more of course. ”
Flood in Kurbağalıdere

We have made it in such a situation that even if there is a lot of precipitation, it will not cause any problems. Our work continues. We have very serious works in Cendere Creek. Kurbağalıdere is a 40 km creek. Due to the bridge structure there, it also has the feature of holding the incoming materials. That bridge also needs to be changed in section. Measures will be taken. Our Secretary General created the crisis desk. They continue their work as İSKİ and fire brigade ”.

The large-scale events outside the normal course of your normal management. We also told my general secretary to make more different applications that take into account the events of this scale. Now technology has changed and developed… .. I have said that some rainwater lines will be created to open the sea by opening new channels ”.
Istanbul's water problem
To the question of whether precipitation will be a solution to Istanbul's water problem, Topbaş said, “These are local rains, not a regular rain falling in the geography of Istanbul. Having precipitation is important in terms of preventing evaporation in water basins. In the summer months, 400 thousand cubic meters of evaporation occurs daily. Currently, Istanbul uses 2 million 700 thousand cubic meters of water a day. The meeting of nature with precipitation around the basin means that it is not used in these dams. It contributes with this dimension. Forestry and Water Affairs Minister, we discussed the day before our. There is good rainfall in Melen Basin. Our second line there is about to end. Work in progress. We will get more water from there, I hope ”.
