Type: article

Abstract: Drought is a vital phenomenon in semi-arid regions; particularly in closed basins where water resources are scarce to meet demands. Konya Basin of Turkey is a closed basin which is susceptible to droughts at the ultimate level.

This study is aimed to share experiences achieved during the preparation of this plan and discuss essential tools to establish a comprehensive drought management plan.
