Within the scope of the project, the operation of 3 dams in an integrated solution network has been considered and a multi-purpose study has been put forward for the benefit of irrigation and drinking water.

The scope of the project includes Uzunalan Dam, Derenti and Yeşilköy Small Dam. With the project, it is aimed to irrigate the downstream lands with the remaining water after meeting the drinking-use and industrial water needs of Biga and Çan district centers and the surrounding settlements. In this context, the “Project Formulation Interim Report” was prepared and integrated operation studies were studied with alternatives, and the project formulation was decided by evaluating the total drinking and irrigation benefits for each alternative. As a result of the Project Formulation Report, it has been proposed to operate the Derenti and Yeşilköy Small Dams for irrigation purposes only. Uzunalan Dam, on the other hand, has been planned for multiple purposes and it is planned to irrigate the downstream lands with the remaining flows after meeting the drinking water needs of the projected settlements in the 2055 target year.
