  5. WaterWorkingGroup 1 • Efforts should be made to minimize the amount of water used in agricultural areas by automation. • In order to disseminate the underground irrigation system, trainings should be given to farmers (certification programs) and financial support should be provided.

  6. WaterWorkingGroup 1 • The works to convert open irrigation systems to closed systems should be continued by DSI. • As the amount of precipitation decreases, groundwater and surface water levels decrease and cause water quality deterioration. Therefore, projects related to monitoring water quality should be supported.

  7. WaterWorkingGroup 1 • It is necessary to establish a water usage map throughout the country by carrying out joint studies in which all institutions are together. • Legal arrangements and inspections related to irrigation ponds used by farmers are required.

  8. WaterWorkingGroup 1 • The measures to be taken for the protection of water resources should be monitored by the general administrations and the relevant authorities should be established. • Research on reuse should be supported where water is used and rewarding applications should be made for the highest reuse of wastewater.

  9. WaterWorkingGroup 1 • Support should be given to establish rainwater collection systems and to establish technological infrastructure. • Controls regarding the uncontrolled use of groundwater should be increased.

  14. AwarenessWorkingGroup 3 • Awareness studies should be begun from children, training and activities should be carried out in coordination with schools. • Periodicactivitiesshould be organized in whichfamilies can participatewiththeirchildren.

  15. AwarenessWorkingGroup 3 • Practicalstudies (such as a hobbygarden) should be carriedout in schoolsandotherlivingareas. • Itshould be ensuredbylocalgovernmenttheperiodicallypublicspots on organicagricultureandclimatechange.

  16. AwarenessWorkingGroup 3 • Trt Radio and TV will be able to create awareness about the subjects. • Recycling should be done in a rewarding and encouraging way. • Shoppingcenters, busstops, billboardsshould be usedforclimatechangeawarenessactivities. Responsibilityshould be in localauthorities.

  17. AwarenessWorkingGroup 3 • Projects can be announced by users who are phenomena on social media. • Organic agriculture supportive grant etc. applications need to be implemented quickly.
