Mersin province water projections and water information and management system: Erdemli district model

Mersin is one of the most important cities of the Middle East and Mediterranean Region as well as Turkey thanks to its intensive sectorial and commercial activities along with developing population. These progresses necessitate many urban needs such as drinking water, irrigation water, wastewater treatment, infrastructure planning for sewage-drinking water networks. In this study; medium and long term investments by 2050 (2015 + 35 years) for Erdemli, which is the third largest district of Mersin, are suggested and Water Information and Management System (WIMS) is formed in order to monitor all the activities and needs aforementioned above from a single center. WIMS can be considered as functional software thanks to being suitable for development, being modular software which can minimize the operating and investment costs, provide information in a short period of time and prepare electronic output of information transferred to the computer through the online database system. So far, 26606 data entries have been made in order to bring the functionality to the software. The WIMS software provided Mersin Water and Sewerage Administration with the ability to manage all data from a single center and monitor the current status of urban centers and rural settlements related to drinking water and wastewater.
