Minister Yumaklı attended the opening ceremony of the Devlet Su İşleri (DSİ) Kastamonu Regional Directorate service buildings and facilities in Kastamonu. He said the new central unit, which will serve Kastamonu, Bartın, Zonguldak and Karabük provinces, has been put into service. Yumaklı noted that 149 facilities had been built in Kastamonu over the past 24 years, representing investment of about 53 billion lira at today's values.

Yumaklı said the tender for the Andıraz Dam, which will cost 29 billion lira, will be completed by the end of this year. He said the dam will both generate energy and reduce flood risk. He added that the Devrekani Besi Organized Agricultural Zone project has reached 79 percent progress and that, once the zone is fully operational, it aims to create 1,500 jobs.
