dc.description.abstractWater scarcity, and drought in particular, is a major challenge worldwide, causing direct and indirect negative effects on ecological systems and water resources, as well as social and economic aspects of life. Climate change and increasing human pressure are contributing to increasing the likelihood of droughts, impacting regions which were not used to be dry. To address this challenge properly, studies should be performed at a multi-scale level, addressing hydrological and hydrogeological drought. Focusing on the Konya Closed Basin in T & uuml;rkiye, data derived from nineteen stations were used to analyze drought conditions, looking at multiple meteorological-Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Z Score Index (ZSI), China Z Index (CZI), Modified China Z Index (MCZI)-hydrological-Streamflow Drought Index (SDI), Surface Water Supply Index (SWSI)-and hydrogeological-Standardized Groundwater Level Index (SGI)-assessment indices for different time scales (1, 3, 6,12, 24, 36 and 48 months). The results show that extreme drought (ED) conditions computed by SPI at 1 month (1.9-2.5%) were higher than that of all indices for all stations. Moderate drought occurred at least according to the ZSI-1. It was determined that the percentage of SPI and CZI had greater Extremely, Severely and Moderately Dry events (10.7-13.4% for CZI; 10.7-14.2% for SPI) than those of ZSI and MCZI. On the other part, MCZI has shown fewer total drought events (6.2-10%). Since 2008, extremely dry conditions in the Konya Closed Basin are generally caused by groundwater drought, which is higher than meteorological and hydrological droughts. The results reported in this work might help in better planning drought-resilient strategies in the basin, which will be paramount in light of climate change.
