Shifting of Meteorological to Hydrological Drought Risk at Regional Scale

The drought along with climate variation has become a serious issue for human society and the ecosystem in arid region like Soan basin (the main source of water resources capital Pakistan Pothohar region). increasing concerns about study area have brought necessity spatiotemporal analysis assessment linkage between different types an early warning system. Hence, streamflow index (SDI) standard precipitation (SPI) were used variations hydrological meteorological drought, respectively. Furthermore, statistical approaches, including regression analysis, trend using Mann Kendall, moving average, been investigation these types, significance variations, lag time identification, overall indicated increase frequency both droughts during last three decades. Moreover, strong was found; this relationship varied on scale. Significant also resulted past (3) These discrepancies would be because onset termination times specific anthropogenic activities selected minimization drought. Conclusively, present contributes to comprehending and, thus, could practical use local resource management practices at
