dc.description.abstractThis study covers 16 irrigation purposed reservoirs of TRNC. The relevant catchment geomorphologic properties, the Φ index, utilized water volumes, monthly evaporation coefficients, and mean annual sedimentation accumulation rates of these reservoirs were determined. It is found that, between the years 2005 to 2022, from the total active storage volume of 13.756 million cubic meters (MCM) of the studied reservoirs, the estimated total of 2.505 MCM is lost through evaporation, nearly 4.277 MCM was utilized for irrigation and 5.270 MCM volume being the annual average inflow into these reservoirs. Due to the sediment accumulation causes decrease in active volumes so, relevant surface area-storage capacity relationships for each reservoir at various sedimentation volumes were generated. Furthermore, the efficiency of all the reservoirs was approximated to be 31% based on the total utilized volume.en_US
dc.description.abstractÖZ: Bu çalışma, KKTC'de bulunan 16 adet sulama amaçlı göleti kapsamaktadır. Bu göletlerle ilgili havza jeomorfolojik özellikleri, Φ indeksi, kullanılan su hacimleri, aylık buharlaşma katsayıları ve yıllık ortalama sedimantasyon birikimleri belirlenmiştir. 2005-2022 yılları arasında incelenen tüm göletlerin toplam aktif kapasitesi olan 13.756 milyon metreküp’den (MCM), tahmini ortalama yıllık 2.505 MCM'nin buharlaşma yoluyla kaybolduğu, yaklaşık 4.277 MCM'nin ise sulama için kullanıldığı ve 5.270 MCM’nin de akış yoluyla göletleri beslediği belirlenmiştir. Sediman birikimi nedeniyle azalan aktif depolama kapasitesinden dolayı, her gölet için farklı sediman birikimleri baz alınarak uygun hacim-satıh bağıntıları oluşturulmuştur. Ayrıca, tüm rezervuarların verimliliği, toplam kullanılan hacme göre yaklaşık %31 olarak hesaplanmıştır.en_US
