Hydrological drought analysis using SDI index in Halilrud basin of Iran Abstract Nowadays, drought is considered as damaging environmental phenomenon which affects natural resources and social communities. Therefore it will be an important issues that magnitude and effects of these phenomena to be considered. To do this we used L-moment method for regional homogeneity testing. The Streamflow Dr...

drought is universal phenomenon that can occur everywhere and can cause harmful impacts on human beings and natural ecosystems. thus, it is very important to study drought character ristics part of for water resources management. in this study, the standardized precipitation index (spi) is used for drought frequency analysis in isfahan province. after collecting the precipitation data in the pr...

In this study, the temporal and spatial variations of groundwater drought using a Standardized Groundwater Level Index (SGI) were analyzed based on 40 monthly groundwater level observation wells from 1989 to 2012 in Jiangsu Province, China. Meteorological drought, calculated by the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), was also included to reveal its propagation and impact on the groundwater ...

Drought is one of the most significant impacts climate on agriculture, especially food crops. Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) an for droughts. The research objective was to study relationship SPI values productivity rice and corn crops in Situbondo district. result showed that value time scale at three months appropriate observed corn. significantly correlated with plants Jatibanteng Arj...

Due to the low rainfall, it is relatively uneven in each sub-district Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS) Regency. It causes some rivers be drought-prone dry season. This study aims determine largest drought index and map distribution South Central The analysis uses Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) Method. data used monthly rainfall for ten years (2009-2018) of rain stations. Then, mapping using A...

Six meteorological drought indices including percent of normal (PN), standardized precipitation index (SPI), China-Z index (CZI), modified CZI (MCZI), Z-Score (Z), the aridity index of E. de Martonne (I) are compared and evaluated for assessing spatio-temporal dynamics of droughts in six climatic regions in Iran. Results indicated that by consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of the...

Existing drought indices have been widely used to monitor meteorological drought and agricultural drought; however, few of them are focus on drought monitoring for grassland regions. This study presented a new drought index, the Grassland Drought Index (GDI), for monitoring drought conditions in global grassland regions. These regions are vital for the environment and human society but suscepti...
