Prof. Dr. Meriç Albay is the head of the Department of Freshwater Resources Management at Istanbul University. He has been actively involved in research related to water resources and management, particularly in the context of Istanbul's water supply. Recently, he provided insights into the impact of recent snowfall on the water levels in Istanbul's reservoirs, noting that the average fill rate had risen to 72.2%. Albay emphasized the importance of maintaining a fill rate of at least 80% to ensure a stable water supply for the upcoming spring and summer seasons.
