“…However, almost all the hydro-climate records have significant serial correlations at least on short memory basis, and efficient, effective, and optimum management of water resources requires identification of trends not only monotonically over a given time period but also whether the low, medium, and high values have separate trends (Şen, 2012, 2017). For this reason, Şen (2012) proposed the Innovative Şen Metod (ISM), which has found wide application in hydrology researches (Haktanir and Çitakoglu, 2014;Öztopal and Şen, 2017;Sonali and Kumar, 2013;Dabanli et al, 2016;Mishra and Coulibaly, 2014;Timbadiya et al, 2013). The ISM does not require any assumptions, and it base on the comparison of the two ascendingly ordered halves from the original time series.…”
