Hatay/Amik - Afrin Irrigation Project

Amik-Afrin Plain is close to Syrian border in south eastern Turkey. Adverse effects of global warming lowered  water level at Asi River and plain’s ground water. Available water for irrigation within the system dropped to critical levels. Therefore construction of project components such as Karasu derivation canal, Karasu and Davutlar water intake structures (regulators) and Asi I and Asi II pump stations were planned. ALTER was contracted by State Hydraullic Works to prepare detailed engineering design of all canals and water structures.
