International Agrohydrology Research and Training Center

To provide a focus for international co-operation in land and water research and training in Turkey, the General Directorate of Rural Services has built a new Centre at Menemen near Izmir. The mission of the Centre is to raise levels of sustainable performance in land and water management and so meet client, national and international goals.

The objectives of the Centre are; to identify the constraints that are actually limiting sustainable performance, to develop and test appropriate cost-effective responses to address the constraints, and to guide and accelerate the learning of individuals so that they realise their potential.
