The May Dam, built in 1960 in the Ahmediye neighborhood of the Akören district in Konya for irrigation and flood prevention purposes, has dried up due to low rainfall and drought.
Following the complete depletion of the dam's waters, which meet the basic water needs of the region's agriculture, cracks have appeared in the ground.
After the complete withdrawal of water from the dam, which meets the primary water requirement for the region's agriculture, cracks have formed in the ground, and it has been observed that fish living in the dam have also died.
