Abstract

This study investigated the extent of urbanization that might result from the implementation of a project called Project Canal Istanbul (PCI) using the SLEUTH urban growth model and assessed its impact on the hydrological response of Ayamama watershed using the HEC-1 hydrological modelling tool. SLEUTH was run under two scenarios: Current scenario (without PCI) and PCI Scenario (with the implementation of PCI). The prediction results showed that the urban extent of Ayamama watershed would reach 44 km² and 63 km² under the current and PCI scenarios, respectively, by 2050. The HEC-1 simulation results under the indicated urban extents and various rainfall amounts showed that the urban extent of the watershed under the PCI scenario would resulted in a significant increase in the peak discharge. Such a change may increase the risk of flooding and, therefore, appropriate actions that can reduce such a risk need to be considered before the implementation of PCI.
