Abstract:

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 Drought Index (SDI) index was used as a hydrologic drought for investigating probability of drought occurrence in Halilud basin as one of important basins in arid and semi arid regions of Iran which annually suffers form drought damages. Results showed that drought magnitude renege is varied form mild to sever form across basin form upstream to downstream. In other hand frequency of drought occurrence is concentrated in southern of basin. Results also showed high correlation between Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) as a meteorological index with hydrologic index (SDI). Keywords: hydrological drought index, SDI, SPI, Lmoment, Halilrud basin

A new method for evaluation and comprehensive drought Monitoring in the Urmia Lake Basin using a Synthesized Drought Index (SDI)

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...

regional analysis of hydrological drought in sefidrood drainage basin using base flow index

the term hydrological drought is applied to represent low water levels in streams, reservoirs and lakes as well as a low groundwater level. base flow index (bfi) as one of low flow indices gives the ratio of base flow to total flow and investigates basin’s ability to store and release of water in drought periods. the objectives of this study were to determine bfi and to validate this index in d...

Evaluation of SPEI Drought Index and Trend Analysis Using Nonparametric Methods in the Selected Stations of Urmia lake Basin

   Identification of trend and drought characteristics play an important role in the development and management of water resources. In this study, the spatio-temporal characteristics of SPEI index in short, medium, long and annual scales (SPEI3, SPEI6 and SPEI9) in Urmia Lake basin were investigated. for this purpose, temperature and precipitation data from 4 synoptic stations of Tabriz, Urmia,...
