Ecological stops with rainwater harvesting

Izmir Metropolitan Municipality has added a new initiative to its rainwater harvesting efforts, which are of great importance in combating drought. Implementing the Sponge City Izmir project for sustainable rainwater management, the Metropolitan Municipality has created rain stops to raise awareness about the global climate crisis. In the first phase, rainwater tanks were installed at five stops in Konak. These tanks, placed at ESHOT bus stops, collect rainwater to irrigate the plants at the stops. Each tank has a capacity to collect 500 liters of water and is also visually appealing.
