While the risk of mucilla in the Sea of Marmara continues, the increasing population and pollution burden continues to be drawn attention. Finally, the Union of Marmara Municipalities has carried out an event titled “Together for the Marmara Sea for 50 years” within the scope of the 50th anniversary of its establishment; In this event, the 22 -item road map prepared in the Marmara Sea in 2021 came to the agenda. Since 2021, the work schedule was given to the extent to which the decisions taken for the protection of the Marmara Sea have been applied. While the section of the waste water between the 22 items determined for the protection of the sea attracted attention, the wastewater discharge was emphasized that warms the sea water and paved the way for the formation of mushale.
Thermal discharge problem
Article 22 of the action plan is recorded in the cooling water and thermal facilities: “Cooling water and thermal plants consisting of hot water on the Marmara Sea measures to reduce the effects. The project for evaluating the environmental effects of cooling water discharged to the Marmara Sea was completed in the middle of 2023. In the project, the model was operated and as a result, it was found that thermal water discharge caused changes between +0.2 ° C and +0.4 ° C at the surface water temperature of the sea. For this reason, new thermal discharge in the Marmara Sea is not allowed. “
The main reason for the mucilage
While the increase in sea water temperatures is accepted as the main reason for the mucs in Marmara, this article of the action plan is of great importance. The news about how thermal water discharge should be made to the Global Web Private Turkish Sciences Academy (TÜBA) environment, biodiversity and climate change working group member Prof.Dr. Dr. Doğan Yaşar says: “Thermal power plants and factories in need of cooling water take water from the sea. These waters are taken from certain depth; After the machine is cooled, it is discharged. Therefore, the temperature of the water increases. In some places, these waters should not be given superficial, and the water should be left to the depth where the water is taken. “
Water is not given to the surface
Giving examples about this process. Dr. Dogan Yasar said: “Kemerköy Thermik was given approximately 0.5 degrees with a temperature increase. We made the project.
It is necessary to give that water at least a certain depth. The fact that water is on the surface changes biology. “
89 percent performance
Marmara Municipalities Union Action Plan In the follow -up schedule, the objectives of the re -use of waste water were explained. The following information was approached as a 5 percent target. As of 2024, the targeted 5 percent re -use rate was achieved by 4.47 percent realization, ie 89.4 percent performance.. “
