FISH FILTER & Problem
Implementation and Collaboration
|
The Problem Conserving critical habitats and maintaining traditional harmony between humans and wildlife in the working landscapes of less wealthy areas is a challenge. An irrigation conflict in the Köprülü Kanyon National Park in Türkiye is a dramatic example of such a dilemma. Local farmers traditionally irrigate fields after diverting water via primitive dams and channels from the streams of Taurus Mountain. Unfortunately the irrigation time and the time when young fish return down-stream after spawning usually overlap. These irrigation methods, prevent young fish from returning to river. Uncountable young fish are diverted into the sinks of agricultural fields and killed eventually breaking the natural cycle of reproduction.
