Konya Metropolitan Municipality KOSKI General Directorate continues to undertake new projects to prevent flood risks in the city and improve the quality of life.
In this context, an important step was taken in Buzlukbaşı area, located in the Akademi Neighborhood of the Selçuklu district, to address flood risks arising from the water basins on the Meramşah Stream.
Konya Metropolitan Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay stated that with the Buzlukbaşı Flood Protection Facility Project, where physical work has begun, they aim to control potential flood risks in areas such as Istanbul Road, Aliya Izzetbegoviç Street, Ankara Road, Kosova, Bosna Hersek, and Büyükkayacık neighborhoods, as well as the Airport, Logistics Center, and Organized Industrial Zones.
Mayor Altay said, "By combining Ardıçlı, Buzlukbaşı, and Kuşaklama Canal, which are the water collection basins of the Meramşah Stream, with a pond that is 70 meters wide, 14 meters high, and 140 meters long with a capacity of 450,000 cubic meters, we will provide effective protection against potential flood disasters. I hope that our project, which we aim to complete as soon as possible, will be beneficial for our city."
