Kaya Valley Flooding

There was plenty of rain in the Fethiye last year, but it was spread over a longer period. It seems we've had a couple of month's rain in a week.

Turkey on the whole had a shortage of rain, but Fethiye's was about average. The problem is that most of it flowed straight out into the bay. The farmers in the area rely heavily on water from higher ground either directly irrigating their crops, or percolating into artesian wells, and that's where they encountered a problem.

Last year we had standing water 14 inches deep in our woods for about 2 months. This year, the depth of standing water in the same area is about 26 inches.

No doubt the Turkish Met Office will give us some comparison figures soon.
