Assessment of Agricultural Drought Vulnerability with Focus on Upland Fields and Identification of Primary Management Areas

Robust water management systems are crucial for sustainable use, particularly considering rapidly changing, ever-improving supply system technologies. However, the establishment of specific standards in upland fields is challenging, as several types crops cultivated fields. Hence, timing and required amount vary greatly, further rendering drought response challenging. In this study, we evaluated agricultural vulnerability South Korean fields, lack resources, to establish preliminary damage prevention measures. The Technique Order Preference method was used assessment, assessment indicators were annual rainfall, number dry days, field area, available soil capacity, groundwater usage. 20 areas highest comprised large cultivation with minimal subsurface-water usage, except where days appeared be major factor vulnerability. Damage caused by recurring droughts accumulated over time; thus, upland-field-oriented may can even cases insufficient information available. Future studies use proposed while factors that describe conditions.
