Water is one of the unique sources which have no other alternatives in our lives. That is to say, life will end when the water ends. Poverty of water which makes its effect felt much more recently concerns Turkey closely, as well as most of the countries.

Water problem ?s getting an international quality leads the countries to struggle for search of a common concept and understanding of law in order to solve this problem.

However, these studies having been started 40 years ago has unfortunately no certain outcome till today.

In addition, increase in world population and unconscious use of the resources make the water important. Turkey is a very significant region regarding the soil she stands.
