The congress, which is one of the leading organizations of Europe and the world, was realized with the participation of expert scientists from 106 different countries and 15,075 people.

Within the "Project to Prepare Van Lake Basin Drought Management Plan" which we started in the end of 2016, we presented our works, comparative techniques and their findings that are scientific, technically international studies and presented them at EGU congress as a poster.

The poster briefly explains following main topics; the similarities / differences between SPI, SRI, Palmer and NDVI indexes calculated for Van Lake Basin within different time periods (1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 48 months), information about determinations of the suitable index types according to different drought types (meteorological, agricultural and hydrological) for basin with the obtained similarities, and determination of the current drought situation (meteorological, agricultural and hydrological) of the Van Lake Basin.
