Seyhan Dams Automation Project and Flood Management System

This project, developed for the automation and flood management of Seyhan, Çatalan and Yedigöze Dams, represents a first in Turkey. This system enables the management of dams with artificial intelligence-supported technologies and provides full control over water levels and flows. While the water levels in each dam are monitored instantly with non-contact water level measurement systems, this data is transmitted to a central control system. In addition, the water level of the streams and irrigation channels feeding the dams is monitored with the Elman Radar system, thus making water management much more efficient. Thanks to the SCADA system integration, the management of water transmission channels and flood conditions are controlled synchronously. This system optimizes both drinking water and agricultural water use, while continuously monitoring when and how much of each drop of water is available. In addition, thanks to the Flood Early Warning Notification and Monitoring System integrated to detect flood risks early, sudden increases in water levels are instantly detected and warnings are sent to the authorities. In this way, rapid interventions can be made before natural disasters. The system works in integration with critical institutions such as AFAD and the Red Crescent, allowing society to be guided quickly in disaster situations. Developed using local software and industrial hardware, this system takes an important step towards managing water resources safely and efficiently.
