GENERAL DIRECTORATE OFGENERAL DIRECTORATE OFSTATE HYDRAULIC WORKS (DSSTATE HYDRAULIC WORKS (DSII))The General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works is the main agency of the Turkey for Nation’s overall water resources planning, execution and operation.

The DSI's purpose "to develop water and land resources in Turkey" covers a wide range of interrelated functions. These includeirrigation, hydroelectric power generation; domestic and industrialwater supplies for large cities; recreation and research on water-related planning, design and construction materials.
