Biologists Hasan Sarpten and Niyazi Türkseven, who visited the Gönyeli Lake to watch the birds on Sunday said that the lake had desiccated. In a statement on social media, Hasan Sarpten said, “We went to the Gönyeli lake with my biologist friends this morning to watch the birds in the lake, which always managed to hold water for years, under all conditions and nourish the natural life around it. This scene is not a surprise, as rain has not fallen at the seasonal norms and evaporation continues, as summer is still present in November. We cannot avoid experiencing similar problems without accepting climate change as a phenomenon and creating a rational water policy, knowing that its most devastating effect on the geography will be “drought”. However, whilst receiving water at Geçitköy from Türkiye, we ignore the water problem being experienced”.
