Investigation of changes in groundwater resources is of great importance in planning and sustainable management of water resources. Knowledge on the relationship between groundwater and drought is prerequisite for water resources management. In this study, climatic variables including evaporation, temperature, precipitation as well as hydrological variables i.e. discharge and groundwater depth ...

Drought is one of the most complex natural hazards that affect natural systems and different parts of an ecosystem in various ways. Evaluation of drought behavior such as determining the time of its occurrence, understanding the relationships between types of drought, and recognizing its characteristics such as magnitude, severity, and duration of drought periods can be an important aid in wate...

drought is transient phenomenon , slow , repetitive and integral part of the climate of each region. drought begins with a substantial reduction in precipitation over the long-term average rainfall and over time, reduced soil moisture and surface and ground water resources will continue to decrease. this phenomenon is the most important in bakhtegan basin because of its importance in strategic ...

Mehrgerd region of Semirom county has faced the water shortage for several years. The emergence of drought has led to a decline in water resources in recent years; and there are various reasons for climate change and increased consumption in order to reduce water resources. The present study aimed to investigate the process of temperature and precipitation variations and its possible effects on...

Groundwater is a major source of water for agriculture in Sheshdeh and Gharebolagh plain. In recent years increasing drought and excessive exploitation of these resources has increased the pressure on groundwater. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between meteorological and hydrogeological drought using the SPI and GRI indices. Eight rain gauges stations were used to cal...

Groundwater is a valuable resource both in the Iran and throughout the world. Drought as a natural and inevitable phenomenon, frequently occur in the different regions of the world, especially in the hot and dry area. It lead to economical, social, and environmental damages. Drought should decrease groundwater recharge. In main aim of this study was to investigate the effects of drought on grou...

Groundwater is one of the most important resources of water in the world. Studies show that low rainfall, persistent droughts, and over-exploitation have caused economic and environmental damage. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of rainfall and drought on the groundwater of Kashmar plain as one of the most important fertile plains of Khorasan Razavi in eastern Iran,...
