Van Lake Basin consists of critical regions in regards to drought events. Specifically, the droughts have an impacton the socio-economic level, which is considered to be the most extreme phase of the drought in that area. Besides,it began to trigger the migration from the basin due to the intense drought event. Therefore, drought conditionsthat may occur during the future periods on this basin have been determined by drought indices. In addition to this,vulnerability analysis were conducted for 5 different sectors (drinking-use, agriculture-livestock, tourism, industryand ecosystem) in the basin. Drought calculations were made for different indices (SPI, scPDSI, scPHDI, SRI andNDVI) by using in situ measurements: precipitation, temperature, evaporation, flow values, and satellite imagesto determine the drought intensity and period of the basin. The indices were computed in different time periods(1, 3, 6, 9, 12...48 months) and the indices types and periods that could represent the basin for different droughtconditions (meteorological, agricultural and hydrological) were determined. Additionally, hydrological model ofthe basin was conducted for the actual situation by MIKE-NAM model. The annual changes of the hydrologicalcomponents which are the overland flow, interflow and baseflow were examined and compared with the resultsdeduced from indices calculations. Over and above, the hydrological model of the basin has been re-run over theyears (2017-2100) by using the climate projections including precipitation, temperature and evaporation. Thus, theflow values of the basin were obtained during the projection period. The hydrological model enables flow forecastsand using SRI for the hydrological drought prediction throughout the climate projection period. After that, theindices were recalculated to cover the projection years and compared with each other again. The findings obtainedfrom the first and the last indices comparisons indicate that the same indices types and periods give the bestresult for the basin. Furthermore, the hydrological components of the basin can also be analyzed annually duringprojection periods. The results of drought analysis were then combined with the water susceptibility, economicvalue and the adaptability of each sector in the basin against drought on the basis of sub-basins. The sectoralvulnerability analysis of the basin were examined in four main classes (slight, moderate, severe and extreme) until2100. The inferences play a crucial role in determining the precautions for the government decision-makers whoare responsible for the drought mitigations

Trend Analyses of Meteorological Variables and Lake Levels for Two Shallow Lakes in Central Turkey YAĞBASAN, ÖZLEM; Demir, Vandettin; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2020-02-01) Trend analyses of meteorological variables play an important role in assessing the long-term changes in water levels for sustainable management of shallow lakes that are extremely vulnerable to climatic variations. Lake Mogan and Lake Eymir are shallow lakes offering aesthetic, recreational, and ecological resources. Trend analyses of monthly water levels and meteorological variables affecting lake levels were done by the Mann-Kendall (MK), Modified Mann-Kendall (MMK), Sen Trend (ST), and Linear trend (LT) ...
Extreme precipitation and drought monitoring in northeastern China using general circulation models and pan evaporation-based drought indices Faiz, Muhammad Abrar; Liu, Dong; Fu, Qiang; Wrzesinski, Dariusz; Baig, Faisal; Nabi, Ghulam; Khan, Muhammad Imran; Li, Tianxiao; Cui, Song (2018-01-01) The evaluation of precipitation extremes and the usage of appropriate drought indices are very important for assessment of natural disasters (i.e. floods and drought). For this purpose, we calculated values of indices that reflect precipitation extremes and 3 drought indices, i.e. the composite index (CI), standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI), and reconnaissance drought index (RDI), with reformulation of pan evaporation and Penman-Monteith equations (denoted as CI-Pan, RDI-Pan, RDI-PM,...
Evaluation of eutrophication control strategies for the Keban Dam reservoir Soyupak, S; Mukhallalati, L; Yemisen, D; Bayar, A; Yurteri, C (1997-04-15) The reservoir of the Keban Dam in eastern Anatolia is a very deep and large water body subject to significant seasonal water level fluctuations within a given hydrological year. At the present time, different sections of the reservoir have different trophic status and the upper portion of the reservoir, in particular, is eutrophic. In this regard, there is a need for the assessment of alternative strategies to be implemented for phosphorus and thus eutrophication control in this segment of the reservoir. In...
Simulation of event-based snowmelt runoff hydrographs based on snow depletion curves and the degree-day method Sensoy, A; Tekeli, AE; Forman, AA; Sorman, AU (Informa UK Limited, 2003-12-01) In mountainous regions, runoff from snowmelt is an important hydrologic and economic factor, and therefore early runoff forecasting brings significant advantages to the planning and operation of water resources systems. Similarly, predicting runoff from snowmelt during spring months in the eastern part of Turkey, where most of the water originates from high mountains and contributes to the large dams on the Euphrates River, is of crucial importance. In this study, an event-type, physically based hydrologic ...
Decadal variability analysis of extreme precipitation in Turkey and its relationship with teleconnection patterns Düzenli, Eren; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul; Willems, Patrick; Department of Civil Engineering (2017) Natural disasters as droughts and floods originate as a consequence of excessive decrease or increase in precipitation amount and/or frequency, while the variability in the climate significantly impacts the expected change in precipitation. Given that many global ocean-atmosphere teleconnection patterns (AO, WeMO, NAO, SOI, etc.) are tightly related with the climate variability and show decadal/multi-decadal oscillations, it is important to analyze precipitation variability at the decadal time-scale to unde...
