It is found that: (i) with recharge of 194 million m(3)/year and abstraction of 271 million m(3)/year, groundwater levels are declining annually by about 1 m; (ii) serious pollution has not been recorded in the region, and groundwater quality is satisfactory for industrial applications at least. Water quality is therefore less of a concern than water quantity. The latter, however, requires active intervention.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCorluTurkeyThraceTurkeyOver-AbstractionWater LevelsTertiary AquifersWater QualityConference Object74111116N/AWOS:000243256700008
