\begin{abstract}
The fertile Anatolian lands in Turkey, supporting about 80 million
people, rely on abundant water resources. The K\selectlanguage{polish}ı\selectlanguage{english}z\selectlanguage{polish}ı\selectlanguage{english}l\selectlanguage{polish}ı\selectlanguage{english}rmak River basin in
Anatolia is vulnerable to global warming, mainly due to snowmelt in its
headwaters. Quantifying the upper watershed's climate sensitivity is
crucial for assessing water availability. Instead of using Global
Climate Model (GCM)-driven projections, a sensitivity-based approach was
employed with the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) hydrologic model
to assess the region's hydrological vulnerability to potential future
climatic changes. Considering the consistent projections of increasing
temperature (T) over this region in GCMs, the system was perturbed to
examine gradients of a more challenging climate, characterized by
warming and drying conditions. The sensitivity of streamflow, snowpack
water equivalence, and evapotranspiration to T and Precipitation (P)
variations under each perturbation or ``reference'' climates was
quantified. Results indicate that streamflow responds to T negatively
under all warming scenarios. Streamflow responding to P increases
nonlinearly as P decreases in the reference climates. These results
suggest that there will be heightened difficulty in managing water
resources in the region if it undergoes both warming and drying due to
the following setbacks: 1) water availability will shift away from the
summer season of peak water demand due to the warming effects on the
snowpack, 2) annual water availability will likely decrease due to a
combination of warming and lower precipitation, and 3) streamflow
sensitivity to hydroclimatic variability will increase, meaning that
water managers will likely need to plan for a system that is more
sensitive to weather variations.%
