ASSESSMENT OF WATER AND WASTEWATER POTENTIAL OF BURSA CITY

Kentsel büyüme tatlısu kaynaklarına olan ihtiyacı artırmaktadır ve su kentler için dikkate değer bir öneme sahiptir. Hızlı büyüyen mega kentlerin pek çoğu kirlilik, ötrofikasyon, atıksu arıtımı eksikliği ve belki de en önemlisi temiz su eksikliği gibi ciddi su ile ilgili problemlerle karşı karşıyadır. Dünyanın tüm kentsel kısımlarında su kaynakları verimsiz bir yolla kullanılmaktadır. Bursa, içme suyu ve genel kullanım suyu temini açısından Türkiye'nin en zengin kentlerinden biridir. Tatlısu kaynaklarının dışında Bursa kenti termal su kaynakları açısından da zengindir. Bursa, su kaynakları ve atıksu arıtım faaliyetleri açısından çevreye duyarlı su yönetim sistemi ve ileri görüşlülüğü ile örnek bir şehirdir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'nin Güney Marmara Bölgesi'nde bulunan ve zengin su kaynakları ile önem arz eden bir metropolitan kent olan Bursa su tüketimi ve su kaynakları açısından değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında atıksu arıtım faaliyetleri de belirtilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda Bursa'daki su kaynaklarının ve atıksu arıtım servislerinin geliştirilmesi ile ilgili çözüm önerileri verilmiştir.

Bursa İlinin Su ve Atıksu Potansiyelinin Değerlendirilmesi

Urban growth is increasing the demand for freshwater resources and water is of significant importance for cities. Many fast growing megacities are facing serious water-related problems including pollution, eutrophication, missing wastewater treatment and perhaps most importantly, a severe scarcity of clean water. In the entire urban world, water resources are used in an inefficient way. Bursa is one of the wealthiest cities in terms of its supply of drinking and general purpose water in Turkey. Apart from rich freshwater resources Bursa has also thermal water springs. Bursa can be a sample city with its environmentally respectful water management system and foresighting in terms of water resources and wastewater treatment facilities.In this paper, Bursa a metropolitan city located in South Marmara Region of Turkey and which has come into prominence with wealthy water resources was evaluated in terms of water consumption and water resources. Several recommendations were scrutinised in order to protect current water capacity and proper usage of water for a planned and well-designed water management of the city. Wastewater treatment facilities were also stated within the frame of the paper. This paper concludes by suggesting ways of enhancing the resources of water and wastewater services in Bursa.
