Eastern Anatolia Project (GAP)

The Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP) is a major regional development initiative in Turkey aimed at boosting the economy, improving infrastructure, and managing water resources. It involves constructing dams, hydroelectric power plants, and irrigation systems along the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. The project seeks to generate electricity, provide water for agriculture, and foster regional growth. While it promises economic benefits, GAP also raises environmental and social concerns, such as impacts on ecosystems and local communities. Overall, it is a strategic effort to transform southeastern Turkey into a more prosperous and sustainable region.
