The exact number of well allocations in the Konya Plain up to 1986 is limited; existing sources show an increasing trend from the 1960s onwards, the sudden jump after the earthquake has not been documented. Approximately 60,000 wells (half of which are illegal) is valid for the 2010s, while in the 1980s it was expressed in the thousands.[1][2][3]
Well Number Table
| Period | Estimated Well Number | Source Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1960s | Thousands level | Beginning of YAS cooperatives [4] |
| 1980s | 10,000+ (licensed/illegal) | Increase in drinking water projects [5] |
| 1990s | Rapid increase | Agricultural demand [2] |
| 2010s | 60,000+ (30,000+ leaks) | Environmental report [1] |
Data derived from DSI reports; no exact number for 1986, increase from agricultural growth.[6][7]
Increase Connection
The increase in wells is related to the pre-1986 KOP project (1950s) and drought periods; no earthquake effect.[8][5] Sinkholes accelerated from the 1990s.[7]
Should I fetch a DSI archive report?
