SAKARYA WATER CYCLE PROJECT: 3D MODELING, 3D PRINTING, ENERGY COSTS AND RECOVERY

Most of the fresh waters on the world are connected to the seas. Therefore, it cannot be used for irrigation of drinking water or agricultural land. Re-use of freshwater in Turkey were made for the purpose of a project. This project is aimed at the re-use of the Sakarya River, which is poured into the Black Sea. For this purpose, physical geography map of Sakarya river and Sakarya region was examined. Later on, the three dimensional design of the Sakarya region was carried out close to the physical structure. The route for transporting fresh water from the edge of the Black Sea has been determined. For the transportation of fresh water, water channels, water pump properties and necessary electricity need (solar power and electricity generation from pipe turbines) were calculated. It is aimed to produce 3D prototypes of Sakarya's physical map and freshwater route
