wiki:
In recent years, Lake Eğirdir has faced severe water level decline due to a combination of reduced precipitation, prolonged drought, inadequate water management practices, and inefficient irrigation methods, with some areas of the lakebed reportedly becoming accessible by vehicle

A strait called the Hoyran Boğazı divides Lake Eğirdir into two parts: the larger Eğirdir Gölü proper and the smaller Hoyran Gölü.

Lake Kuş (Turkish: Kuş Gölü, lit. 'Bird Lake') or Lake Manyas (Turkish: Manyas Gölü) is a lake in western Turkey, located in the Bandırma region.

RAMSAR site: https://rsis.ramsar.org/ris/660?__goawa ... dia.org%2F

IBA, KABA https://datazone.birdlife.org/site/fact ... C5%9F-lake .
"A shallow nutrient-rich freshwater lake (average depth 3 m) fed by groundwater and four streams. Small deltas have formed where the latter enter the lake, comprising extensive marshes and tree-lined riverbanks. Narrow belts of reed Phragmites fringe much of the lake. Water is abstracted for factory use and for irrigation. Cattle- and sheep-grazing is common along the lake shores."
