Kahta Çayı Havzası’nda Arazi Kullanımı

Abstract

The Kahta river basin is located in the area of Southeastern Anatolia Project. The lands suitable for agricultural activities are quite a bit restricted in the basin which is topographically sloped. Available agricultural lands consist of the fields on the terrace of valley and area gotten from forests and pastures. Agricultural lands in the basin are far from to meet the demand of the population in the region. Therefore, the people living in the basin migrate from the basin each year. The lands in the basin are subjected to erosion due to high slope and misusage of the fields. In this study, the problems encountered in the usage of the lands in the Kahta river basin will be determined and some solutions to problems will be suggested
