A decrease in water resources causes water scarcity in the long-term period. This study is conducted to analysis the meteorological drought in Izmir district Turkey. Inspired by the real-life problem drought estimation models are developed through artificial neural network-based artificial intelligence techniques incorporating a decision support system. The Z-score index (ZSI) values are computed using precipitation data collected from five meteorological station in Küçük Menderes basin and several developed models are compared according to the variety of statistical performance metrics. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
