iran is located in dry belt of the earth and always involved with drought in different sections. drought has already caused many losses to natural plant cover, agriculture and human society. for drought monitoring, we can use some drought indecies. in this research, the standard index of annual precipitation)siap),sandardized precipitation index (spi) and palmer drought severity index (pdsi) we...

The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) has become a popular measure of drought across the globe. In this study, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was used in annual period of time to survey on drought. Also, in order to zonation frequency of drought, geographic information system (GIS) software and Kriging method used for extracting dry areas. The zoning maps show most severe drought i...
