During the trainings, Gökçen Çapar, Assoc. Prof. Dr. of Ankara University Institute of Water Management made a statement to AA reporter. “We have experienced the global warming as a result of the emission of too much carbon dioxide, methane and greenhouse gases during the industrialization process. Today the temperature of the world has increased by an average of 0.9 degrees. With the melting glaciers, there is an increase in the sea level, as well as warming, and in return there is a change in the climate we are used to. This manifests itself in every field. Water resources are also very vulnerable, because we use water in all areas, we depend on it” said Çapar by mentioning that climate change is perhaps the biggest problem of the century.
