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. In order to estimate drought risks and establish necessary measures against drought events, a Drought Management Plans is prepared for this basin. 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. Preparation of a drought management plan includes, determination of prospective drought risks, climate change analyses, assessment of water budget, vulnerability assessment and essential measures to be taken at pre-drought, during drought and post drought stages.
