In 2023, the volume of agriculture groundwater abstraction in Turkey stood at 12.34 billion cubic meters. Based on forecasted data, this volume is expected to increase steadily over the next five years. Specifically, it is projected to reach 12.55 billion cubic meters in 2024, reflecting a year-on-year increase of approximately 1.70% from 2023. The subsequent years show a consistent increasing trend:
• 2024: 12.55 billion cubic meters (+1.70%)
• 2025: 12.77 billion cubic meters (+1.75%)
• 2026: 12.99 billion cubic meters (+1.72%)
• 2027: 13.21 billion cubic meters (+1.69%)
• 2028: 13.43 billion cubic meters (+1.67%)
The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five years is approximately 1.71% per year.
Future Trends to Watch For:
• Technological advancements in irrigation and water management could impact groundwater usage.
• Government policies aimed at sustainable water usage might influence abstraction trends.
• Climate change and its impact on water availability could necessitate changes in groundwater abstraction patterns.
• Increased emphasis on alternative water sources could reduce reliance on groundwater.
