Yeşilçay Drinking Water Plant

Yeşilçay is a river about 60 kilometres (37 mi) east of Anatolian quarters of Istanbul.

The headwaters are on the mountainous area of the Kocaeli Peninsula and the river flows to the Black Sea in Ağva.

There are two water regulators (Sungurlu and İsabey ) on the rivulet and the water is pumped to the purification plant at Emirli via 2,650 metres (8,690 ft) mains pipe.

In the second stage the annual water intake is increased to a total of 335 000 000 m3.
