Turkish Stakeholder Meeting

19-20 April 2006

22OPTIMA

As stated in D02 of OPTIMA on Socio-Economic Framework

Analysis;

“in line with one of the key tasks taken up in the EC Water

Framework Directive, the OPTIMA dissemination strategy is

centered on actively involving interested parties such as

relevant government departments, local communities,

water utilities, industry and commerce, agriculture,

consumers and environmental groups throughout the

project lifecycle” .

Concepts and Aims

33OPTIMA

Based on this strategy;

a 2-day stakeholder workshop was organized by SUMER between April 19-20, 2006 in Izmir, to set the basis for the optimization procedure of OPTIMA to be applied for the Gediz case study.

Invitations were extended to a total of 106 persons, representing local, regional and national governmental/private institutions and NGOs.

Of the total invited, 45 stakeholders contributed to the meeting.

The workshop has fulfilled the requirement of a participatory

approach, which is viewed in D02 of OPTIMA “as a means to

develop the tools needed for an optimum management of water

resources in direct, active consultation with the stakeholders,

leading to the creation of a favorable ‘atmosphere’ that is

aimed at gaining the understanding and acceptance of the

eventual OPTIMA findings by all stakeholders”

Concepts and Aims

77OPTIMA

The basic objective of the workshop also follows from D02 such

that “the active involvement of the stakeholders is … considered as

a means to assist … in the identification of any “conflicting”

demands on water resources, which can then be further assessed

in the context of possible ‘development scenarios’ … to

demonstrate through the use of appropriate modeling tools how

such conflicts could be reconciled in the context of a sustainable

approach to water resources management”

Concepts and Aims

88OPTIMA

Background Materials

The online “Water Issues Questionnaire” and the associated “Glossary” (derived from D01.1 on Requirements and Constraints Report prepared by FEEM);

D02 on Socio-Economic Framework Analysis prepared by IRMCO;

The online “CORRIDOIO ZERO Methodology for SH Active Involvement Within Decisional Process for water management Optimization” and the SH Workshop Guidelines prepared by Corridoio Zero;

The online questionnaires “CONSTRAINTS” and “INSTRUMENTS” prepared by ESS.

99OPTIMA

Using the above inputs and guidelines, the program for a two

day workshop was worked out in a way to best derive

stakeholder ideas and preferences, which could also reflect

those of various sectors (i.e., planners, decision makers, water

users, researchers, and NGOs).

The organization of the workshop activities was also intended

to facilitate scenario development for the optimum

management of the Gediz Basin.

Questionaire I

The online “Water Issues Questionnaire” and the associated

“Glossary”, has been used as “Questionaire I” regarding all

issues ;

- Physical Conditions,

- Water Management,

- Water Demand,

- Water Supply

1212OPTIMA

Questionaire I

Although this questionnaire was already run within the first year

of the project, the results were not considered very reliable

since the stakeholders selected then were requested to fill in

the forms via e-mail or fax.

Accordingly, this questionnaire was repeated at the workshop

to update Turkey’s issues questionnaire database. At this first

step of the workshop, each stakeholder was requested to fill in

the forms individually.

1313OPTIMA

Questionaire II

This questionnaire was filled out by 5 different groups of

stakeholders to determine priorities and trends with regard to

water issues.

Through this questionnaire, it was intended to identify the key

issues in the Gediz Basin, that should be addressed in scenario

development.

Overall Results

The results of both the individual questionnaires and the

group reports indicate the presence of 2 major problems

within the basin: water pollution and overexploitation

of water resources (i.e., water over-use)

3737OPTIMA

With respect to water pollution, the folllowing issues were considered significant and agreed upon by the stakeholders:

deficiencies in legislation regarding water pollution and water pollution control;

uncertainties in institutions’ enforcement capacities, responsibilities, contraints and scope;

significant needs for building of treatment plants at several points wastewater discharges;

problems related to operaional costs and O&M of existing treatment plants;

lack of public and water user awareness on basin water quality;

inefficient monitoring of water quality with respect to time frequencies and data reliability, which adversely affect water quality management practices and projections into the future.

Overall Results

3838OPTIMA

With respect to overexploitation of water resources (i.e., water over-use), the folllowing issues were considered significant and agreed upon by the stakeholders:

significant water losses in water conveyance systems of both the irrigation systems and the domestic water supply systems, which lead to increased water demand;

lack of public and water user awareness on overexpolitation of water and water scarcity;

inefficient and out-of-date irrigation systems and technologies, which lead to increased irrigation water demands;

lack of sufficient and reliable information on the amounts of water actually used by different sectors.
