A severe drought in Turkey has left dams in the northwestern Tekirdag province dry, cutting water to homes for weeks and putting pressure on the country’s infrastructure. Authorities warn that several provinces could face limited fresh water this summer, according to Reuters.

In Izmir, Turkey’s third-largest city, residents have experienced frequent water cuts, while in the western province of Usak, households are restricted to just six hours of water daily after the main reservoir was depleted.

According to Turkey’s Meteorological Service, rainfall in July fell 71 percent nationwide from last year and 95 percent below average in the Marmara region, which includes Tekirdag and Istanbul. Overall, precipitation across Turkey is down 26 percent in the past ten months, marking the lowest levels in 52 years, Reuters reported.
