Seyhan Dam & Adana

In his novel ‘On Fertile Lands’, Orhan Kemal tells the story of three friends who come down from their village to Çukurova to earn their bread. A story of factories, fields, heat and hope… So what made these lands so fertile, so alluring? The answer lies in two rivers that have come down from the mountains for centuries, carrying life to the plain: the Seyhan and the Ceyhan.
