Özet:

The fact that no other source can be substituted for water, which is the source of life, has made this source important since the existence of the world. Water is used in agriculture, industry, energy, and domestic areas. Water, which is of great importance for societies, and ecosystems, also forms the basis of sustainable development. The high ratio of underground waters, known as invisible water resources, in freshwater resources makes this resource even more important. There are many factors that cause groundwater pollution. Groundwater pollution is of urban, domestic, environmental, agricultural, and industrial origin. Since it is very difficult to detect groundwater pollution, all factors that may cause groundwater pollution should be eliminated. In this regard, groundwater management is important in terms of preventing, and improving water pollution. This study examined institutional structure and legal legislation related to groundwater in Turkey. The importance of groundwater, prevention of pollution, improvement, institutional structuring and legislation constitute the subject of this study. At the end of the study presented some of the findings and some suggestions have been drawn legal and institutional framework for a general view of groundwater management in Turkey.
