Abstract

The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis argues that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between economic development and environmental damage as such environmental damage increases during the early stages of economic development but then decreases after a certain level of economic development is reached. This study aims to contribute to the discussion of the EKC hypothesis by providing a case study from the Ergene River Basin in Turkey. The case study of industrialization in the Ergene River Basin confirms the inverted U-shape relationship between economic development and environmental degradation suggested by the EKC hypothesis.
