ANKARA (AA) - Calling water the “most strategic value” of the next century, the Turkish president on Thursday said that pressure on water resources have been increasing every year.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was speaking at the 1st Water Council which he attended via a live link.
Erdogan highlighted the importance of water resources in the future as well as Turkey’s approach and efforts in this regard.
"Protecting water resources before their depletion, using them efficiently and their proper management is now a must rather than a choice," he said.
