CUMHURİYET DÖNEMİNDE ADANA (SEYHAN)’DA MEYDANA GELEN SELLER VE ALINAN ÖNLEMLER (1930-1956)
FLOODS WHICH OCCURRED IN ADANA IN THE REPUBLICAN ERA AND THE PRACAUTIONS TAKEN (1930-1956)

Summary/Abstract: The city of Adana was founded on both sides of the Seyhan River. In this respect, the Seyhan has been one of the most important factors in the emergence and development of the city. In addition to this fact, along with the Ceyhan and Berdan Rivers, it has given life to the Çukurova region. These rivers, which are of great importance for the region, unfortunately caused serious damage from time to time. During the floods caused by these rivers, the city was submerged under water for days, agricultural areas were seriously damaged, and even losses of life occurred. However, with the occurrence of the floods in 1930s, the search for permanent solutions to these problems came to a head. In this context, first, the regulator on the River Seyhan and then the Seyhan Dam itself were built. With these systems in place, the problem of the irrigation of the plain as well as the flood issue were resolved. This study examines the floods which took place between the years 1930-1956 in Adana, Seyhan and the precautions taken to prevent these floods.
