Development of a New Multivariate Composite Drought Index for the Blue Nile River Basin

چکیده
Drought is a slow-onset phenomenon that evolves over season or even years. affects people more than any other natural disaster due to its widespread and significant negative impacts. Population growth associated water demand add further stress on resources, especially in periods of drought. indices represent single value resulting from processing considerable amount data. These provide short message stakeholders adapt resource management strategies. Since drought results interconnected phenomena, designing composite index includes several can accurately capture events. assessment large-scale basin (e.g., the Blue Nile) challenging objective has not been deeply tackled before except for small portions basin. This paper assessed droughts whole by evaluating meteorological, agricultural, hydrological indices. The calculated (Standardized Runoff Index (SRI), Standardized Precipitation (SPI), standardized soil moisture (SSI)) addition development new evapotranspiration (sETI) are jointly integrated into novel Nile (BNI). optimal weights SPI, SRI, sETI, SSI were 0.33, 0.26, 0.2, 0.19, respectively, designed BNI.

Development of a New Composite Drought Index (CDI) based on Shannon's Entropy Theory for Multivariate Assessment of Drought in Shahrekord Plain
Drought is a climatic phenomenon that begins slowly and has a hidden nature. The duration of its occurrence and the resulting damage occur gradually in different sectors. Therefore, assessment and investigation of drought is very important in planning and implementation of actions to cope with drought. Droughts are divided into different types. One of the common methods of drought assessment is...

Nile blue-Chitosan NB-CH as a new type of organic days-organic composite was made using Nile blue and chitosan. The NB-CH composite was made using a 0.005 M solution of Nile blue NB and a 7 solution of chitosan. To do this, a mixture of Nile blue and Chitosan with the ratio of 2:1 was prepared. The electrocatalytic oxidation of uric acid UA has been studied on glassy carbon electrode by NB-CH u...

Drought is a complex phenomenon caused by the breaking of water balance and it has always an impact on agricultural, ecological and socio-economic spheres. Although the drought indices deriving from remote sensing data have been used to monitor meteorological or agricultural drought, there are no indices that can suitably reflect the comprehensive information of drought from meteorological to a...
متن کاملWater for Energy and Food: A System Modelling Approach for Blue Nile River Basin
The world is facing a more water constrained future as a result of urbanisation, population growth, industrialisation and the emergence of climate change. This has direct impacts on the resilience and performance of the energy and food industries, as water plays a key role in electricity generation processes and agriculture production. Water, energy and food dependencies are more evident in tra...

Climate change is likely to have severe effects on water availability in Ethiopia. The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of climate change on the Gilgel Abay River, Upper Blue Nile Basin. The Statistical Downscaling Tool (SDSM) was used to downscale the HadCM3 (Hadley centre Climate Model 3) Global Circulation Model (GCM) scenario data into finer scale resolution. The Soil and W...
