Abstract

Mersin is one of the most
important cities of the Middle East and Mediterranean Region as well as Turkey thanks
to its intensive sectorial and commercial activities along with developing
population. These progresses necessitate many urban needs such as drinking
water, irrigation water, wastewater treatment, infrastructure planning for
sewage-drinking water networks. In this study; medium and long term investments
by 2050 (2015 + 35 years) for Erdemli, which is the third largest district of
Mersin, are suggested and Water Information and Management System (WIMS) is
formed in order to monitor all the activities and needs aforementioned above
from a single center. WIMS can be considered as functional software thanks to
being suitable for development, being modular software which can minimize the
operating and investment costs, provide information in a short period of time
and prepare electronic output of information transferred to the computer
through the online database system. So far, 26606 data entries have been made
in order to bring the functionality to the software. The WIMS software provided
Mersin Water and Sewerage Administration with the ability to manage all data
from a single center and monitor the current status of urban centers and rural
settlements related to drinking water and wastewater.
