Abstract：
:Drought, which has become one of the most severe environmental problems worldwide, has serious impacts on ecological, economic, and socially sustainable development. The drought monitoring process is essential in the management of drought risks, and drought index calculation is critical in the tracking of drought. The Palmer Drought Severity Index is one of the most widely used methods in drought calculation. The drought calculation according to Palmer is a time-consuming process. Such a troublesome can be made easier using advanced machine learning algorithms. Therefore, in this study, the advanced machine learning algorithms (LR, ANN, SVM, and DT) were employed to calculate and estimate the Palmer drought Z-index values from the meteorological data. Palmer Z-index values, which will be used as training data in the classification process, were obtained through a special-purpose software adopting the classical procedure. This special-purpose software was developed within the scope of the study. According to the classification results, the best R-value (0.98) was obtained in the ANN method. The correlation coefficient was 0.98, Mean Squared Error was 0.40, and Root Mean Squared Error was 0.56 in this success. Consequently, the findings showed that drought calculation and prediction according to the Palmer Index could be successfully carried out with advanced machine learning algorithms.
