Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, faces one of its worst droughts and now record-high temperatures.
With many of the city's reservoirs nearly empty, experts warn Istanbul could face water shortages in just weeks if more rain doesn’t come.
Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) organization Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration (İSKİ) announced that the water use of garden and landscape irrigation subscribers has been temporarily stopped as part of the measures taken to prevent Istanbul residents from being dehydrated.
