Abstract

As a result of increasing industrialisation and the use of machines, the demand for both energy and water are increasing. As a result, it is necessary to develop sustainable environmental structural systems in both energy production and irrigation water. This, in turn, requires the most accurate use of existing water resources and the immediate implementation of sustainable agricultural systems. Despite this, none of the agricultural enterprises are yet using systems such as rainwater harvesting and solar power techniques. The main aim of this research is to find effective results in terms of savings and to contribute to the prevention of water scarcity in the future. At the same time, the advantages of environmentally friendly zero-energy roofs and rainwater collection systems are evaluated. Elazig province of Turkey was selected for this study. When the benefits of the solar power plant to be built on the relevant farm and an average tree are compared in terms of reducing the CO2 emissions, it was found that the contribution of this plant would be equal to that of planting 113,506 trees.
