Akşehir Lake is located in the alanında area between Sultan Mountains and Emir Mountain in the Inner Anatolian Region. Konya and Afyonkarahisar provinces are located within the limits.
Akşehir Lake; Şimşek, Mirrorer, Walnut, Evliya, Kap, Rare, Tekke, Engilli, Sorkunlu resources with Adıyan Teas, and also seasonal and continuous small derelers from Sultan Mountains, nutrition with precipitation falling to the lake area with underground water flow. The divorce is wells opened for evaporation and agricultural irrigation from the lake surface and waters taken.
The connection with the Lake Eber Lake through Taşköprü Tea in the past is cut by the regulator and irrigation channels built by Eber Lake.
The lowest water level in the period of 1961-1991 was detected in November 1963. Accordingly the water code 955.01 meter, the lake area has 25 thousand 500 hectar and water volume has been 460 million m3. The highest water level was detected in May 1970, this level of water code 959.76 meters, the lake area has 39 thousand hectar and water volume 2.1 billion m3. The average of 50 years precipitation is 572 mm. In recent years, there is a reduction in precipitation.
A shallow lake and its depth ranges from 2 to 4 meters. Around 10 kilometres of the southeast of the lake are covered with all the coasts remaining outside the coastline, but they are covered with wide ranges. Willow communities are available in fuel delta
The flora and fauna of the lake enter the ecologically abundant food lake class. There are five types of fish as well as fish with commercial importance such as carp and turna.
Ornitological importance in Akşehir Lake is one of our lakes which are great. All bird species in Eber Lake are encountered here.
The large walls surrounding the lake mirror are an extremely convenient environment as the incubation area for water birds, nutrition place, asylum, shelter and collection. Despite the fact that there is more rare here to Lake Eber, the spread of large areas; the birds provide a wide movement to protect from hunters.
In the lake, in the early autumn and winter, birds around 60-80 thousand species of pelicans, divers, fishermen, rainmers and martyrs are seen in the early autumn and winter. Especially wild gooses spend the night in very crowded groups in winter season. The largest (107 thousand) of the wild excavation population seen in Turkey was recorded in Akşehir Lake by Tansu Gürpınar in December 1977.
But due to the freezing of the lake surface in severe periods of winter, the lake loses this function if 1-2 months. In recent years, dam and ponds made on the derees nourishing the lake, also due to the wells opened by DSİ, Akşehir Lake was born in 1997, but due to the good reputation of precipitation in 2009, the lake has repeatedly grown. By 2023, the lake has reached almost the level of drying. Akşehir Lake is completely dried as 2025.
Due to global warming, the next 25-30 years is told by scientists that precipitation will be reduced by 25%. Therefore; in relation to the use of water, the necessary technical measures to be taken before a moment; the return of Akşehir Lake to Akşehir Desert should be avoided.
The task falls to all.
Pretty thick.
