The recent rainfall in Istanbul, following a dry spell, remains a crucial source for the city’s water supply from its dams. Over the last two days, heavy rain has significantly boosted the water levels in these reservoirs. According to ISKI (Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration) data, the dam occupancy has surged to 31.03 percent. Notably, from November 17, where the rate stood at 17.65 percent, the recent rains have increased water levels by 5.56 percent in the dams.

Türkiye’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu announced that Istanbul’s Çamlıca Tower has hosted approximately 2.3 million visitors since its inauguration by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on May 29, 2021.
Standing at 587 meters above sea level, the tulip-shaped tower is the tallest structure in Istanbul and combines architecture, technology, and visitor experience. It includes 49 floors with observation decks, restaurants, and interactive exhibits showcasing Istanbul’s landmarks.
Uraloğlu emphasized the tower’s role in broadcasting, currently supporting 100 FM channels, 16 analog TV, and 15 DAB+ stations, along with services for GSM and public institutions. He noted that Çamlıca Tower has significantly reduced electromagnetic emissions in the area, lowering levels from 39 to 2.5 Volts/meter—well below EU safety standards.
