Drought analysis with different indices for the Asi Basin (Turkey)

M. Dikici

This study conducted by Mehmet Dikici investigates drought risk in Turkey's Asi Basin, utilizing data spanning from 1970 to 2016. By employing four key indices, the research provides insightful analysis on drought severity and generates comprehensive drought risk maps, uncovering vital correlations that can inform future water resource management.

Abstract
This study analyzes drought risk in the Asi Basin (Turkey) using meteorological, hydrogeological, and hydrological data. Four indices—Deciles Index (DI), Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), and Standardized Runoff Index (SRI)—were employed to assess drought severity and magnitude at various recurrence intervals (1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 48 months). The indices were compared, their correlations examined, and drought risk maps generated. The study used data from 1970 to 2016.
