Methodological framework for the assessment of drought effects on water resources and agricultural production for proactive and operational planning
Abstract
Drought is one of the major natural hazards, with significant impact on several sectors of the society, the economy and the environment. The consequences of drought are more severe in developing regions, where there is limited administrative and technical infrastructure for securing vulnerable systems and devising sound proactive and operational plans. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the rational drought analysis for the assessment of drought effects on water resources and agricultural production. Emphasis is put on the data requirements and the structure of the proposed methodological framework, in order to be applicable in a wide range of regions, under different climatic conditions and for limited data availability. The basis of the research is the analysis and the characterisation of drought through the use of drought indices. Targeted modifications and enhancements of specific drought indices are proposed, taking also into account the role of climate change on drought c ...
