dc.description.abstractThe identification, monitoring and characterization of droughts are matters of great importance in water resources planning and management. In this study, drought characteristics, using monthly precipitation data from 22 meteorological stations in the years between 1960-2015, are investigated in a regional -scale. The run and SPI methods supporting the ReDIM software, were applied to three- and 12 months' time-scales for the East Mediterranean Region of Turkey. Outputs of some drought characteristics were mapped using ILWIS software. Results of the SPI regional analysis, based on a three-months' time-scale showed that a minimum SPI (-1.60) was seen in February 1991, while a maximum SPI (-2.79) was seen in November 1975. Based on a 12-months' time-scale, a minimum SPI (-1.71) was seen between January and February 1983. A maximum SPI (-2.76) was reached between June 1973 and January 1974. According to the results of the run method, the longest drought durations were found to be 12 years for the Anamur station, nine years for Kilis and eight years for Adana. The maximum drought intensity was 588 mm/year for Antalya station. A maximum water deficit was calculated to be 1744 mm for Anamur. Generally, the longest drought durations, drought intensity and cumulated water deficits decreased throughout the north of the region. Results show that the collected date in relation with regional droughts identified with SPI provide more details of drought durations and magnitudes.en_US
