At the water efficiency mobilization information meeting, YUMAKLI emphasized that the current situation represents an extremely negative climate crisis on a global scale and stated that although a large part of the world's surface area is covered with water, usable freshwater resources are only 2.5 percent. He pointed out that only 1 percent of this amount can be used by humans. He gave two striking examples from the world and our country: the Aral Sea has lost 90% of its previous size in the last 50 years. In our country, Akşehir Lake lost 2/3 of its existing water surface between 2020-2022. He stated that in 6 years, half of our population and 80% of our irrigated agricultural areas will face the danger of water scarcity. On January 31, 2023, the Water Efficiency Mobilization was launched under the auspices of Mrs. Emine Erdoğan and with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
