drought in turkey
... The Drought of 2013-2014 The above-average precipitation levels in Turkey in the years following the drought of 2007-2008 led to a weakness in drought preparedness. For the reasons described above, the norm in Turkey is expected to shift from precipitation to drought. As proof of this, meteorologica ...
