Ülkemizde ve dünyada suyun en çok sarf edildiği alanlardan biri tarımsal üretim faaliyetleridir. Tarımsal üretim faaliyetleri sürdürülürken kullanılan ve geleneksel yöntemlere dayanan bilinçsiz sulama yöntemleri, gereğinden fazla su sarfiyatına ve dolayısıyla su israfına neden olmaktadır. Bu su israfı toprakta çoraklık ve verim kaybı gibi sorunları...

The estimation of precipitation data is very important while designing buildings in cities. Because of fast response of rainfall-runoff in urban areas, the stormwater infrastructure systems are developed. Especially in flood prone areas which have flash flood risks, the total precipitation, its return period and its duration should be known. For th...
Since the formation of the world, it is known that the earthquakes in seismic-active regions are occurring in sequences and from their results there are losses to millions of people and buildings. As Turkey is located in one of the worldꞌs most active seismic zones there are many studies for minimizing the damages especially at buildings during ear...

Determination of trends in low flows has a great importance in water resources planning and operation. Hydrological assessment on low flows is required in water quality control problems, water supply projects, irrigation, recreation, and ecological conservation. Trends in low flows could be seen as potential evidences of climate change, and signifi...
Drought is a natural climatological phenomenon which can be defined as the water scarcity due to the temporary imbalance in water availability in a region. Basically, drought occurs when precipitation is less than normal values and it extends over time. Drought has a large scope and negative significant effects on many sectors. It is therefore impo...
ABSTRACT: In recent years, society has a growing concern over global warming and climate change. As the greenhouse gas emissions increases, global temperature raises, however the effect on the hydrological cycle, especially on the precipitation still draws attention. Numerous studies supported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)...

***Extended Abstract***
Low flows observed in the stream at certain times of the year are studied frequently due to their importance in water supply, water quality, transportation and stream ecology. Long low flow periods increase the probability of drought. Low flows become more important under dry weather conditions. Low flow frequency analysis i...
A flow duration curve (FDC) plots the percentage of time that flow in a stream is equal to or exceeding a given value. In a gauged basin, it is obtained by sorting the observed flow from the largest to the smallest, and plotting against the corresponding exceedance probability. At ungauged basins where no data exist, the need for developing empiric...
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is widely used in hydrological modeling studies. GIS based hydrological models always need Digital Elevation Models (DEM) data. This study is based on a comparative flood vulnerability defined by wetness indices using different resolution DEMs. Study area is selected as Guneskaya Catchment in Meric (Ev...
Low flows are frequently studied for determination of amount of water needed for any purpose under dry weather conditions. Frequency analysis is a tool to be used for this aim. In this study, frequency analysis of low flows in four hydrological watersheds, Meriç-Ergene, Gediz, Seyhan and Ceyhan, were performed. The 2-and 3-parameter Gamma, log-norm...
Predetermination of the quantity of water is important for all water resources projects. It becomes vital particularly when low and high extreme events; i.e., low flows, droughts and floods, are dealt with. Streamflow data are used in the determination of available amount of water to provide for the demand. Therefore, it is important to have a wide...
Frequency analysis of runoff is one of the major approaches in modeling and estimating the
probabilistic behavior of discharge in rivers. Two intermittent rivers, one in Turkey another in
Iran, Shahar-Chay and Akarcay both located between 30–40 Northing latitude are selected for
comparative investigations. Both rivers show similar behavior in mom...
Flow duration curve can be used to determine discharge at any exceedance probability of time. Determination of the discharge is important in such watershed management practices as the design of irrigation systems and hydroelectric power plants. In this study, flow duration curves are modelled for use in ungauged basins. The model is based on the no...

Synthetic hydrologic data can be produced from stochastic model techniques. The autoregressive (AR) model specifies that the output variable depends linearly on its own previous values and on a stochastic term (an imperfectly predictable term); thus the model is in the form of a stochastic difference equation. AR models have been extensively used i...

The Flow duration curve (FDC) is one of the most fundamental pieces of information that feeds into the design of a low-flow, hydropower, water supply and pollution studies. Because of the scarcity of available streamflow data, acquisition of FDC at the basins is important. By the help of FDC, flow at any time exceeded by a certain probability can b...

A conceptual model was made for Akarcay Basin using AdH (Adaptive Hydraulics) model in Surface Water Modelling System (SMS) software. This model outputs include water velocities, water depths in the river and wet/dry areas on the basin. These outputs give future flood risks at the basin. The AdH model was selected because it uses 3-D Navier-Stokes...
