Speaking on this topic, the tourist operator Ali Karaman, “Unfortunately, we witnessed the sprint in Iznik lake with drought in recent months.With a new pipeline, we heard that some water sprint. Iznik is ashore. Measures should be taken by absolute. Now, the drip system from agricultural irrigation needs to be approved. We need to get along behind Iznik lake. How can we give 1 drop of water for Iznik lake. We need to fight for this. If not, we will continue to live in Iznik between swamps and flies. Without Iznik's lake, there was no Iznik. Every minute of water was drawn, “he said.
