Abstract: | The Thrace region is one of the most important agricultural and industrial regions in Turkey with its plain, deep and productive
soil structure. The most important problem is industrial based water and air pollution in this region. In this study, 90 out
of 541 establishments that use industrial water in the region were studied representing approximately 17% of the total population.
The relationship between water-natural gas usage and discharge-emission permission is estimated by using the binary logistic
model. In addition to the economic and social benefits, there are also economic and social losses due to environmental pollution
because of the rapid industrialization in the Thrace Region. For example; the rice producers that use Ergene River for irrigation
purposes lose efficiency and quality in various levels due to water pollution. According to the research results, an increase
in wastewater is a factor that decreases the probability of obtaining discharge permission. Moreover, excessive use of underground
water results in decreases in static and dynamic water levels in the region. Because of this result, it is more advantageous
for sustainable water management to be directed to the sectors that do not use water for industrial purposes instead of the
sectors that use water in their processes. |
