As part of the “Water in Istanbul” project, which was started in 2021 by Istanbul Technical University together with Edinburgh University and Northumbria University and supported by the British Institute at Ankara (BIAA), a workshop will be held at The Marmara Pera Hotel on November 24.

ITU, Ministries, İSKİ and İBB; representatives from various universities and public institutions are expected to attend the workshop

The “Water in Istanbul” project focuses on Istanbul, which has needed water management throughout its history. It aims to investigate water management policies in Istanbul in the 15th century and in the 80s, when it received heavy immigration, and to discuss and solve the water problems that the city may experience today and in the future, to benefit from the knowledge of past practices.
