in this paper by using the data related to the monthly precipitation of 13 stations situated in west azerbaijan province of iran in a time period of 34 years, monitoring and forecasting the probability of a drought occurrence is evaluated in next coming months. in this process, first the monthly precipitation amounts for each rainfall station are used in order to calculate the standardized prec...

monitoring and evolution of drought is the first step in any drought management system. in this study, evaluation of a new indexa new method is provided to monitor the severity of drought with remote sensing combined drought index (rcdi). the index is based on the fact that drought is a natural phenomenon caused by a combination of various factors such as a shortage in the amount of precipitati...

Drought detecting is a necessary aspect of drought risk management. It is generally performed usingdifferent drought indices that are effectively continuous functions of rainfall and other hydro- meteorologicalvariables. A number of drought indices have been introduced and used in various countries to date. In thecurrent research, four meteorological drought indices including the standardized p...

Recent droughts in the United States have highlighted the nation’s current and increasing vulnerability to this natural hazard. Drought-related impacts are also becoming more complex, as illustrated by the rapidly rising impacts in sectors such as recreation and tourism, energy, and transportation. Environmental and social consequences are also of increasing importance. Conflicts between water ...

Drought is one of the major natural hazards that bring about billions of dollars in loss to the farming community around theworld each year. Drought is most often caused by a departure of precipitation from the normal amount, and agriculture is often the first sector to be affected by the onset of drought due to its dependence on water resources and soil moisture reserves during various stages ...
