Abstract
Agricultural production and water resources are among the most important issues from the past to the present. The interdependence of these two concepts is quite high. As the world population increases, the needs will undoubtedly increase. Accordingly, while the demand for agricultural production increases, resources remain limited. Water is important for all sectors in the economy. Since it is the main input of agricultural production, it is of vital importance for increasing agricultural production. Excessive water withdrawal for agricultural irrigation, especially in developing countries, has a negative impact on resources. Sustainable use of water resources is getting worse with the addition of pollution problem to excessive water withdrawal. In this study, by being dealt with the impact on the water resources of irrigation in the European Union and Turkey and it will be examined whether it is sustainable or not.
Highlights
Water is a basic requirement for biological life as well as one of the basic components of the economy
While this rate exceeds three times in Greece, it decreases by half in Germany. 9.7% of all agricultural lands in the European Union provide the necessary conditions for irrigation
In the study conducted by the European Environment Agency on water pressure in Europe in 2000 and renewed in 2017, it seems that there is a moderate pressure on water resources in general in the southern regions of the union
Summary
Water is a basic requirement for biological life as well as one of the basic components of the economy. In connection with the supranational nature of the European Union, certain policies are produced on the use of water within the union Among these policies, those produced for the agricultural use of water contain various difficulties in terms of their implementation in all member states with different geographical and population structures. Those produced for the agricultural use of water contain various difficulties in terms of their implementation in all member states with different geographical and population structures For this reason, it is difficult to examine the agricultural use of water as a whole in the European Union, it is undoubtedly necessary to evaluate the agricultural use of water from the union scale for a Europe that has the ideal of increasing the degree of integration. 2021, 5 (2), 235-253 specifying the strengths and weaknesses of Turkey and the European Union in agricultural irrigation, what needs to be done for sustainable irrigation will be tried to be determined
