This document summarizes a presentation given on groundwater management in Turkey. It provides background on Turkey's agricultural sector and water resources, noting that groundwater accounts for 19% of irrigation water. Key agencies responsible for irrigation development and management are described. Turkey's groundwater policy involves permitting wells and transferring management to water user organizations. Challenges to sustainable groundwater use include overpumping and network water losses. Solutions discussed are metering wells, modernizing irrigation systems through pressurization and land consolidation, which can save water and increase yields.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

20. Why Land Consolidation? LC. is key;2-c
To solve social and physical infrastructure problems
To decrease public investment costs
Without land consolidation With land consolidation
Channel network Road and channel network
Investment cost decrease - 40 %
Irrigation efficiency increases (from 60% to 90%)

24. Distribution of the suitable areas for land consolidation in Turkey
The areas can be consolidated 14,0 Million ha
- Irrigated areas 8,5 Million ha
- Dry areas 5,5 Million ha
GAP (2008-2013) A.P.
2 Million ha will be
consolidated
(80 % completed)
KOP Action Plan
700.000 ha will be
consolidated
The LC of 5,5 million ha will provide a significant amount of water savings
New strategy;
is basin based and multipurpose land consolidation projects
1961-2002 450.000 ha
2003-2012 2.503.000 ha

25. Land Parcel Information System
According to data;
• Agricultural parcels : 30 million
• Agricultural holdings : 3.1 million
• Average land size : 6 ha
• Parcels per capita : 10 parcel
Agricultural parcels were digitized and Land Parcel

30. Recommendations
• Groundwater reserves should be currently monitored and
evaluated
• Modern irrigation systems which provides water saving
• Land consolidation should be constructed with modern
irrigation systems
• Institutional capacity of water users should be increased,
• Production planning should be prepared with respect to
water capacity
