Özet:

 Water is the most important element in ensuring food security. One of the most important effects of climate change on water resources is stated as drought and water scarcity. Especially because of increasing temperatures and decreasing precipitation, it is foreseen that the irrigation need will not be met, and food availability, adequacy and stability may be threatened. It is necessary to use water efficiently in order to meet the need for sustainable food and to produce agricultural products that the industry needs. In recent years, water footprint analysis has been used to evaluate the efficient use of water. In agriculture, the possibilities of producing crops with a low water footprint, reducing the blue water footprint, or increasing the green water footprint are being investigated. In this study, blue and green water footprints in irrigation schemes in Konya Closed Basin in plant production were calculated and evaluated. The need for green net irrigation water was between 13059-1280 m3 da-1, and the need for blue net irrigation water was between 166025,81-30950 m3 da-1. The seasonal green total irrigation water requirement was determined as 608765.89-59048617.84 m3, and the seasonal blue total irrigation water requirement was determined between 6529366.65-492393320.21 m3. Green water footprint was found between 605130.28-59048617.84 m3 and blue water footprint was found between 6492626.51- 492393320.21 m3. To reduce the blue water footprint, rainwater should be kept in the soil with water harvesting techniques in the research area, and measures should be taken to save water and reduce water losses in agriculture.

 Su, gıda güvenliğinin sağlanmasında en önemli unsurdur. İklim değişikliğinin su kaynaklarına en önemli etkilerinden biri de kuraklık ve su kıtlığı olarak belirtilmektedir. Özellikle artan sıcaklıklar ve azalan yağışlar sonucu sulama suyu ihtiyacının karşılanamayacağı ve gıda erişilebilirliği ve yeterliliği ve istikrarının tehdit altına girebileceği öngörülmektedir. Sürdürülebilir gıda ihtiyacının karşılanması ve sanayinin ihtiyacı olan tarım ürünlerinin üretilebilmesi için suyun verimli kullanılması gerekmektedir. Son yıllarda suyun verimli kullanımının değerlendirilmesinde su ayak izi analizleri kullanılmaktadır. Tarımda, su ayak izi düşük olan ürünlerin üretilmesi, mavi su ayak izinin düşürülmesi veya yeşil su ayak izinin yükseltilme olanakları araştırılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Konya Kapalı Havzasındaki sulama şebekelerinde bitkisel üretimde mavi ve yeşil su ayak izi hesaplanarak değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma alanında, yeşil net sulama suyu ihtiyacı 13059-1280 m3 da-1 arasında, mavi net sulama suyu ihtiyacı ise 166025.81-30950 m3 da-1 arasında elde edilmiştir. Mevsimlik yeşil toplam sulama suyu ihtiyacı 608765.89-59048617.84 m3, mevsimlik mavi toplam sulama suyu ihtiyacı 6529366.65-492393320.21 m3 arasında tespit edilmiştir. Yeşil su ayak izi 605130.28-59048617.84 m3 mavi su ayak izi de 6492626.51- 492393320.21 m3 arasında bulunmuştur. Mavi su ayak izini azaltmak için araştırma alanında yağmur sularının su hasadı teknikleri ile toprakta tutulması sağlanmalı, tarımda suyun verimli kullanımına yönelik önlemler alınmalıdır.
