Abstract

The Göksu River is one of the most important rivers of the Mediterranean region, about 260 km long, and we are exploring the possibilities of river transportation on the part between Silifke and Taşucu Port, which opens to the Mediterranean. When this region was evaluated from the point of view of river transportation, firstly river hydrology and topography were investigated and it was concluded that navigation would be unsatisfactory without being able to channel the river which was found to have negative factors in terms of large flow changes and irregular bedding transportation. However, it has been concluded that river transport can be carried out partially by increasing the bottom depths and lower stream depths, or by feeding the river water and obtaining a regular flow rate, under the name of river regulation method. It is also envisaged that the river can be channeled to make a series of flows on the river, to form a regular flow regime and to provide a fixed waterway depth.
