Traditional Water Storage Houses in Tillo / Siirt
Journal Title: ISPEC Journal of Agricultural Sciences - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
In the Mesopotamia region, where water is scarce and where the first settlements are located, there are water storage structures from different periods of its history, which have been functioning for years and can be considered a universal cultural heritage. In Tillo district of Siirt province which is located in the Mesopotamian region, different water storage structures with an undetermined date have been identified. These structures, which are produced by the people of the region to solve the water problem they encounter in their relationship with nature, are cultural landscape elements. In this study, information was given about the water harvesting structures developed by the people of the region with their own methods. These cultural landscape structures, which are defined as water houses by the public and used for centuries, have been abandoned with the developing technology and municipality. Today the subject water structures, which have been identified and completely abandoned in Tillo, are important for a better understanding of the value of water, its protection and its efficient use, especially during these times of water scarcity. These water structures can also be used as a dominant component in instilling 'water consciousness'.
