Abstract

In the 19th century, in regions that lay outside the agriculture lands along the shores of rivers in the Middle East, dry agriculture that was affiliated with seasonal precipitation was practiced. This situation meant that many productive lands were not farmed. The spread of agriculture production without being dependent on precipitation and an increase in production was only possible with a wide-ranging irrigation project. This paper takes as its basis the Middle East, which was limited in water resources and examines the irrigation projects that were developed for irrigated agriculture and gardening in Jaffa, a seaside Palestinian city; in addition, the concessions that were granted in this context will be examined. If we take into account that the conflicts affiliated with water sources in this region still continue today, the development of an irrigation project in a city like Jaffa, both from the aspect of the direction of state agricultural policies and for evaluating the settlement policies of the Jewish colonies, is extremely important.

Özet

19. yüzyıla gelindiğinde Orta Doğu’da nehir kıyılarındaki tarım arazileri haricinde kalan bölgelerde, mevsimlik yağışlara bağlı kuru tarım yapılmaktaydı. Bu durum pek çok verimli arazinin işlenmemesi anlamına gelmektedir. Yağışlara bağımlı kalmadan tarımsal üretimi yaygınlaştırma ve hasılatı arttırma ancak ve ancak kapsamlı sulama projeleri ile mümkün olabilmektedir. Bu makalede su kaynaklarının kıt olduğu Orta Doğu temel alınarak Filistin bölgesinin bir kıyı şehri olan Yafa’da sulu tarım ve bahçeciliğin geliştirilmesine yönelik sulama projeleri ve bu bağlamda verilen imtiyazlar incelenecektir. Bölgede su kaynaklarına bağlı çatışmaların bugün dahi yaşandığı dikkate alınırsa, Yafa gibi bir şehirde sulama projesi gerçekleştirilmesi, hem devletin tarım politikalarına yönelmesi bakımından hem de Yahudi kolonilerinin iskan politikalarını değerlendirmek açısından oldukça önemli olacaktır.
