Abstract

The results such as decrease in agricultural production, product quality and change in diversity because of drought create important socio-economic problems. Due to these reasons, it is becoming an increasingly strategic study topic in academic circles. The fact is that it is not observed instantly like natural disasters makes it possible to take necessary measures on a basin basis in case of drought. Accordingly, obtained data, from meteorological stations in the Susurluk Basin, were used in this study. Within the scope of the study, the starting and ending dates, and intensities of dominant dry periods were determined by using the PDSI (Palmer Drought Severity Index). Using data such as precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, and the water holding capacity of soil as inputs, a tool was developed in the R environment for PDSI, and annual values were calculated for each meteorology station by running all inputs in this tool. For calculated PDSI values, spatial and temporal analyze were made using the digital elevation model of the Susurluk Basin using the ordinary cokriging interpolation method in ArcGIS 10.8 program.
