PRODUCERS ARE HAPPY
The Ayrancı Dam, which plays a critical role in agricultural irrigation activities in the region, re-filling and starting to overflow was welcomed with satisfaction by the local people and producers.
Nurettin Kanat, a 75-year-old resident of the district, stated that the rainfall following the dry period brought abundance to the region. Kanat, who said he deals with small-scale agricultural work, expressed that the water level in the dam has positively reflected on agricultural production, saying, "In previous years, rainfall was very scarce. This year there has been abundance. Our rainfall is plentiful. Crops are abundant, fruits are not bad. The dam looks full. Gardens are being irrigated."
The dam, which completely dried up last year and then filled with abundant rainfall this year, was captured by drone footage.
