    Challenges Faced by Closed Basins From the Perspective of Water Resources: Case Studies From Türkiye
    (Springer Nature, 2025) Kircicek, Nilufer Tirol; Gungor, Esra Bilgic; Baba, Alper
    Closed basins form important hydrological systems that provide a variety of benefits to both the environment and humans. This chapter examines the current status of closed basins in Turkiye and analyzes the natural and anthropogenic environmental stressors affecting these regions. Two distinct case studies are covered in this chapter: the Konya Closed Basin (KCB) and the Karakuyu region. Konya Closed Basin has experienced severe drought and sinkhole issues as a result of misapplications and excessive water consumption. The severity and frequency of water-related problems are increasing day by day due to the impact of climate change in the region. Agricultural activity and irrigation needs are high in the Karakuyu region, which is considered a second case study and is a small part of the Kucuk Menderes River Basin. It is hoped that with improved management practices, Karakuyu will not experience the condition of KCB in the future. The final section outlines the recommended practices and precautionary measures for addressing issues associated with closed basins.

    Issues and Challenges in Sustainable Usage of Groundwater Resources in Afghanistan
    (Springer Nature, 2025) Zaryab, Abdulhalim; Nazari, Aref; Farahmand, Asadullah; Yaqubi, Mohammad Saber; Mirzad, Sayed Mohammad Mansoor; Jafari, Zamen; Shams, Ajmal Khan
    Globally, Afghanistan is currently a frontrunner in groundwater scarcity due to unplanned urbanization, rapid rise in population, climate change, weak policies, mismanagement, and lack of long-term vision. Frequent weather extremes like droughts and floods and prolonged war and political instability lead the country far away from achieving water security, food reliance and sustainable management of its natural resources. The war situation also refrains in gathering of long-term hydrological data and thus, there is a huge gap in understanding the water resources even better. Furthermore, aids from international organizations are limited in groundwater development and management. This chapter highlights various issues and challenges in sustainable usage and the importance of groundwater in the country. The chapter compiles the research carried out with regard to Afghanistan's quest to manage its groundwater resources more efficiently.
