Modeling studies with arcSWAT and its evaluation with data mining: The case of Mersin province

In this study, it is aimed to obtain hydrological results on the streams in the region where the application will be carried out, and to provide data that are primarily important within the scope of the study with data mining in line with these results, as well as current and future-oriented assessments on the application regions. Basins are being formed by examining the streams and streams belonging to the province of Mersin, which is located in the Eastern Mediterranean basin. Simulation application is carried out by organizing meteorological, soil structure and land use data for these basins to be used in the ArcSWAT program. With the simulation application, the sub-basins of each basin are formed. There are 35 sub-basins in the Berdan basin, 21 sub-basins in the Deliçay basin, 30 sub-basins in the basin numbered 124, 27 sub-basins in the basin numbered 163, 23 sub-basins in the basin numbered 176. 4 separate scenarios are carried out in the simulation application for the Berdan, Deliçay, 124, 163 and 176 watersheds designated as the study area. With these scenarios, results such as transpiration and evaporation, lateral flow and surface flow, groundwater density belonging to basins are obtained. Since there is a lot of data density with these simulation studies performed, more visual and understandable results are obtained by mapping in the ArcGIS environment again with the results obtained by using the K-means algorithm included in the Orange 3.35.0 program.
