Socioeconomic drought occurs when a water shortage is caused by an imbalance between the supply and demand of resources in natural human socioeconomic systems. Compared with meteorological drought, hydrological agricultural has received relatively little attention. Hence, this study aims to construct universal simple assessment index, Standardized Supply Demand Water Index (SSDWI). Taking Jianj...

Groundwater drought is a natural hazard that develops when groundwater systems are affected by climatical drought, when climatical drought occures, first groundwater recharge, later groundwater levels and groundwater discharge decrease. The origin of drought is a deficit in precipitation and that takes place in all the elements that comprise the hydrological cycle (flow in the rivers, soil mois...

Drought is one of the most widespread extreme climate events with a potential to alter freshwater availability and related ecosystem services. Given the interconnectedness between freshwater availability and many ecosystem services, including food provisioning, it is important to evaluate the drought implications on freshwater provisioning and food provisioning services. Studies about drought i...

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 ...

In the current human-influenced era, drought is initiated by natural and human drivers, and human activities are as integral to drought as meteorological factors. In large irrigated agricultural regions with high levels of human intervention, where the natural farmland soil moisture has usually been changed significantly by high-frequency irrigation, the actual severity of agricultural drought ...

Climate change is adversely affecting the development, management, and planning of surface groundwater resources. The meteorological drought becomes a severe natural problem, it can occur in any climatic region world. Thus, monitoring minimizing crucial for analyzing predicting impacts. considered basin or region-specific since atmospheric conditions are highly variable from to region. However,...

Droughts are part of extreme meteorological phenomena that generate serious social, economic and environmental consequences. This study seeks to characterize the historical (1976-2019) projected (2021-2050) drought in Niger River Basin Benin. To achieve this, present used daily rainfall observations simulations two regional climate models (RCM) (HIRHAM REMO) from fifteen (15) stations installed...

Drought is universally acknowledged as a phenomenon associated with scarcity of water. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) expresses the actual rainfall as standardized departure from rainfall probability distribution function. In this study severity and spatial pattern of meteorological drought was analyzed in the Puruliya District, West Bengal, India using multi-temporal SPI. Daily gri...

Drought monitoring is an important scientific basis for drought impact evaluation and the selection of mitigation strategies. Since drivers vary among regions, there no universal index applicable to different regions. The Shiyang River Basin, inland river basin, located in Gansu Province, China, has a closed water cycle system. dominant nature disaster sustainable development region. Thus, this...
