Özet:

The world's clean water resources are rapidly exhausted due to natural and human factors. The rapid population growth, technological developments and the negative effects of global warming are the main factors that accelerate this process. Water problems arise like drinking in urban areas, lack of water use and water pollution. In rural areas, the level of underground water is gradually decreasing as a result of unconscious overwatering, the chemical waste used in agriculture is mixed into the soil, polluting the underground water, and the evaporation resulting from unconscious watering increases the water loss. These problems have led to water resources getting a little more important every day. With the increasing importance of water, the countries with water resources are rich in efficient use of existing water resources, while the countries with water resources lack are looking for new water resources. This has led to increased problems in cross-border water sharing and diplomatic crises between the countries.  The problem is whether the possibility of having water resources is threatened.  Water safety discussions have focused on how water resources are clean, drinkable and sustainable, as well as how water resources can be protected and shared internationally. This also applies to our country with cross-border water sources. Our country is not rich in water resources, but is among the countries that may experience water shortage in the future. In this regard, the solution of the problems of the safety and efficient use of cross-border waters is important in the point of management of water resources in our country. Thus, the river Furat is the top of Turkey's important water sources in terms of drinkable, hydropolitic and renewable energy water potential. Historical disputes on the river Ephrat, which has such a rich structure, have continued. The aim of this study is to address the problems arising in the water management of the Fırat River, which Turkey has a large drinking water and hydroelectric energy source, in international dimensions. The study will be a literary study and will historically analyze national and international problems in the water management of the Ephraim River. Thus, after the conceptual framework, information about the water potential will be given. In the second section, the causes of the historical disputes in the water sharing of the Euphrates River will be examined, the effects of current discussions. In the results of the study, what possible international risks on the Euphrates River will be identified and recommendations for the solution will be made. The work emphasizes water management because it deals with water management in national and international dimensions.
