The danger of drought is alarming in Kızılırmak, Turkey's longest river, which passes through Kırıkkale. Sheep were seen grazing in the area where the dam waters receded. After a winter without snow and rain in Kırıkkale, spring began to show its face. In the city where air temperatures are rising, the danger of drought is alarming. The water level in Kapulukaya Dam, which is fed by Turkey's longest river Kızılırmak, also dropped. The Türkyılmaz family, who are farmers and breeders in Karaahmetli village, graze their small cattle on the dam bed as the water level drops. The water level also dropped in Kızılırmak, which originates from the slopes of Kızıldağ in Sivas province and flows through Kayseri, Nevşehir, Kırşehir, Kırıkkale, Ankara, Çankırı, Çorum and Samsun and flows into the Black Sea. Islets emerged in the 1,355 km long river. Ali Türkyılmaz, a livestock breeder, stated that the dam water had receded by approximately 50 meters and that there was not enough snow and rain in the winter season. Stating that farmers will also be affected by drought, Türkyılmaz stated that if irrigation is not possible, there will be no crop and this situation is bad for farmers.
