Enormous sinkholes caused by prolonged dry weather are increasing in number in the agricultural plains of Turkey.
Local farmer Tahsin Gundogdu is concerned about the drought.
He thinks that the situation is not being managed properly.
As the drought continues, water levels in lakes and rivers are falling, which means farmers are having to use underground water sources for their harvests.
However, the more water they take from underground, the dryer the ground becomes.
As a result, large gaps, called sinkholes, develop deep down under the ground.
As the gaps grow bigger the weighty soil above collapses.
The farmers are aware of the problems they are creating by using underground water.
However, they are in a difficult position because they can't afford to use water from reservoirs.
They are worried their businesses will fail.
Murat Akbulut is director of Konya's chamber of agricultural engineers.
He is anxious about how much water supplies from Lake Beysehir have reduced.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan responded by holding a meeting about Turkey's water crisis.
He reassured farmers that the government would assist them.
Many farmers and politicians believe that it's not only a change in weather patterns that is creating the water problems.
They want action to be taken.
