Özet:

 Global climate change is having a growing impact all around the world. Drought is one of the most destructive effects of global climate change in the Mediterranean basin. The study area is Mersin, which is located in southern Türkiye and is threatened by drought. Therefore, a drought analysis of the research area was conducted. Palmer Drought Severity Index PDSI, Palmer Hydrological Drought Index PHDI, Standardized Precipitation Index SPI, and Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index SPEI were chosen as drought indices that employ climatic data. The indices are considered standard indices in drought analysis. The indices were calculated, and graphs were created. As a result, it was concluded that Mersin is at risk of drought. The prospective condition in the future was also forecasted.

 Dünya genelinde küresel iklim değişikliğinin etkileri giderek artmaktadır. Akdeniz havzasında bulunan yerler için küresel iklim değişikliğinin temel olumsuz etkileri arasında kuraklık gelmektedir. Çalışma alanı Türkiyenin güneyinde Akdeniz havzasında yer alan Mersindir ve kuraklık tehdidi altındadır. Bu yüzden, çalışma alanın kuraklık analizi farklı kuraklık indeksleri kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bunun için iklimsel verileri kullanan Palmer Drought Severity Index PDSI, Palmer Hydrological Drought Index PHDI, Standardized Precipitation Index SPI ve Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index SPEI standart kuraklık indeksleri tercih edilmiştir. Bu indeksler kuraklık analizinde standart kabul edilmektedir. Söz konusu indeksler hesaplanmış ve grafikler oluşturulmuştur. Buna göre, Mersinin kuraklık analizi gerçekleştirilmiş ve kuraklık riski altında olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca, gelecek yıllardaki olası durumu tahmin edilmiştir.
