Lake Meke has dried out due to years of low rainfall and wrong agricultural irrigation practices.

Located in the Central Anatolian province of Konya's Karapınar district, Lake Meke is a volcanic lake commonly known as the "evil eye talisman" for the rarity of such lakes in Turkey and its one of a kind beauty.

A famous lake in Central Anatolian that had largely dried up has been replenished with runoff from snow, Doğan News Agency has reported.

Meke Lake in the Karapınar district, which is known as the "world's evil eye talisman," had begun to dry up due to drought brought on by excessive agricultural irrigation that had reduced the ground water that fed the lake.

The historical Valide Sultan Bath, built by Kanuni Sultan Süleyman?s wife Hürrem Sultan in the central Anatolian province of Konya?s Karap?nar district in the 16th century, has been turned into a museum.
