8 CORUH RIVER WATER QUALITY Water quality in the main course and tributaries of the Coruh River measured and analyzed regularly from existing stations According to Turkish Inland Water Quality Standards (derived from Water Pollution Control Regulation) Water Quality of Coruh River generally Class I and Class II (Unpolluted and Less polluted water body) General Pollution Sources: Households, municipal wastewaters and dump sites U. Sezer GENERAL DIRECTORATE OF STATE HYDRAULIC WORKS (DSI), TURKEY 8/17

9 CORUH RIVER BASIN ÇORUH BASIN DEVELOPMENT PLAN Çoruh River is one of the significant water resources of Turkey, especially in terms of hydropower potential The preliminary study for development plan started in 1962 by General Directorate of Electrical Power Resources Survey and Development Administration (EIA), The Master plan for hydropower development of Çoruh River was prepared in 1982 In the master plan and subsequent studies various options were considered for the Coruh River Development Plan and as a result 10 hydropower projects in series along the main river in a cascade style were proposed on the main course of Coruh River U.
