Abstract

Agricultural production and water resources are among the most important issues from the past to the present. The interdependence of these two concepts is quite high. As the world population increases, the needs will undoubtedly increase. Accordingly, while the demand for agricultural production increases, resources remain limited. Water is important for all sectors in the economy. Since it is the main input of agricultural production, it is of vital importance for increasing agricultural production. Excessive water withdrawal for agricultural irrigation, especially in developing countries, has a negative impact on resources. Sustainable use of water resources is getting worse with the addition of pollution problem to excessive water withdrawal. In this study, by being dealt with the impact on the water resources of irrigation in the European Union and Turkey and it will be examined whether it is sustainable or not.
