-Urban Water Distribution Structures in Patara- Freshwater springs are very limited in the immediate vicinity of Patara. Underground sources and rainwater collected in cisterns must have played important role in catering to the daily needs of the city. However, local resources were insufficient as a result of the city's growth and increased traffic in the harbor. Rising demand for water has necessitated a 22,5 km long water supply system. The whole water supply and urban distribution system were examined in a project (TÜBİTAK Project No: SOBAG-108K116) entitled “Research on the Water Line of Patara Regarding Archaeological, Architectural and Water Engineering Aspects”. In this study, the reservoirs which were used in the urban water distribution system and water distribution lines that reach different parts of the city were presented.
