Sagıroglu & H.Duman, sp. nov. from north-east Anatolia in Turkey (A8: Artvin & Erzurum) is described and illustrated. It is closely related to F. coskunii H.Duman & M.Sagıroglu, from which it differs mainly in its habit, basal leaves, umbel, and mericarp features. Diagnostic morphological characters are discussed. Notes are also presented on its ecology and conservation status, together with scanning electron micrographs of the surface of the mericarps and of a somatic metaphase plate showing the chromosome number. © 2007 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2007, 153, 357–362.

    salmon/dams/page 1 Yusufeli dam and the river Çoruh: an indefinable asset (1200 words) “Neither you, nor I, nor anyone else, knew it well enough to insist that at all costs it should endure.” Thus David Brower, founder of Friends of the Earth, looking back on the damming of the Colorado River’s Glen Canyon in the USA in 1963. If the Colorado River was not well enough known, what chance does the Çoruh in north-eastern Turkey stand? Two dams are already operational; another twenty-seven are planned. The biggest and most environmentally destructive will be close to the little town of Yusufeli. Does it matter? Turkey needs more power. First, the area is one of outstanding natural beauty: “one of those existing but perhaps indefinable assets” that Turkey has been all too ready to destroy in its gallop to match European standards of living, as Brian Sewell puts it in his Turkish travelogue, South from Ephesus. The Çoruh marks the southern limit of the Kaçkar mountains that drop into the Black Sea behind the legendary town of Trebizond. Its gorges form a little corridor of Mediterranean warmth that makes possible even the growing of olives. Downstream from Yusufeli the gorges are rocky and narrow. Upstream the alluvial banks support rice paddies and stands of poplars, the emblematic tree of central Asia. And high on the slopes of these valleys, where the forest gives way to flower-strewn meadows, are tiny villages of stone and wooden chalets, whose inhabitants, some permanent, some seasonal, live in semi-self- sufficiency from their cows, fruit trees, honey and vegetable gardens – and, to a growing extent, from the slowly burgeoning, eco-friendly and sustainable tourism of walkers, nature-lovers and white-water rafters who come for the Çoruh rapids.

    The Methods Used in Monitoring of Large Dams in Turkey

Regional Directorate, 56. Division Office, Kırıkkale, Turkey, 2 Necmettin Erbakan University, Engineering and Achitecture Faculty, Geomatics Engineering Department, Konya, Turkey. Abstract Turkey is a very rich country in terms of water resources. However, in order to use these resources efficiently, water must be stored safely. In this context, the best form of storage is the construction of dams. In our country, large dams, which are among the world's important dams, are being built. Although there are many advantages of large dams, the loss of life and property will be so great in case of a possible deformation or destruction. The fact that dams are under the influence of various forces, as well as being located in the earthquake zone of our country, necessitates continuous monitoring of our dams. Dams are generally monitored using geodetic methods and geotechnical devices. However, mostly details of these two methods are evaluated separately in dam monitoring. Evaluating the results of both methods together is very important for the comprehensive monitoring of the dam and the correct interpretation of possible deformations. In this study, large dams in our country and monitoring studies carried out by using geodetic and geotechnical methods in these dams are given in detail. Key words: Dam, Deformation Monitoring, Geodetic, Geotechnical 1.
