Abstract:
Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is the most widely used drought index which provides good estimates on the drought intensity based on the size of the temporal and spatial dimensions. The main advantage of the SPI in comparison with other indices is the fact thatthe SPI enables both determination of drought conditions at different time scales and monitoring of different drought types.In this study, drought analysis of the western region of Turkiye, Eskisehir, specifically,the local and regional Porsuk Basin was performed using standardized precipitation index,and drought management strategies have been studied.
