The Barind region of Bangladesh suffers from frequent drought due to poor and delayed rainfall in pre monsoon and monsoon season. In the present study details analysis of rainfall data has been carried out for the years 1971-2010. Two well known drought indices, Standard precipitation index (SPI) has been used to evaluate the precipitation deficit, and Markov chain model used to quantify the dr...

quantitative measurement of meteorological drought, z score(z), rainfall anomaly (rai), standard precipitation (spi) indices and percent of normal precipitation (pnpi) based upon seasonal and annual rainfall data of the 15 meteorological stations of meteorological in hamedan province were used. also, in studying influences of drought on agriculture relative yield index of wheat was used. the re...

The temporal and spatial characteristics of droughts are investigated to provide a framework for sustainable water resources management in a semi-arid region. Using the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) as an indicator of drought severity, the characteristics of droughts are examined in the Conchos River Basin in Mexico. This basin is important to both the United States and Mexico, because t...

Based on the meteorological and hydrological data of Yalong River Basin from 1960 to 2019, droughts were analyzed using standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) runoff (SRI); then, spatio-temporal evolution propagation characteristics studied multiple time scales. The results showed that, firstly, annual scale, frequencies in basin 28.3% 34.0%, respectively, past 60 years. Fro...

Groundwater drought denotes the condition and hazard during a prolonged meteorological drought when groundwater resources decline and become unavailable or inaccessible for human use. The aim of this study is to identify the influencial factors on groundwater drought in Hamadan- Bahar Watershed,Iran, to understand the forcing mechanisms. The Standardised Precipitation Index (SPI) has been used ...

The process of propagation from meteorological to hydrological drought is studied using the Vistula basin in Poland (193,960 km2) as a case study. study aims set background for analysis processes influencing basin, including availability data on hydro-meteorological factors, groundwater, and major human activities that might influence water cycle region. A recent history events derived based st...

Drought events in the Mediterranean are likely to increase in frequency, duration and intensity due to climate change, thereby affecting crop production. Information about drought is valuable for river basin authorities and the farmers affected by their decisions. The economic value of this information and the resulting decisions are of interest to these two stakeholder groups and to the inform...

1. introduction a drought is a prolonged period of water deficit and usually occurs when an area does not receive significant precipitation for a sustained period of time, say several months (chen, kuo, & yu, 2009; linsely, kohlerm, & paulhus, 1959). the effects of drought often accumulate slowly over a considerable period of time that may linger for several years even after the termination of dr...
