Drought Assessment

Drought assessment involves analyzing weather, climate, soil moisture, and water usage data to determine the severity and impact of drought conditions in a specific area. It helps identify shortages in water supply, agricultural stress, and ecological effects by tracking changes over time. This process guides decision-making for water management, resource allocation, and mitigation strategies, ensuring communities are prepared and resilient against prolonged dry periods. By combining various data sources, drought assessment provides a comprehensive understanding of ongoing water shortages and informs policies to reduce their impact.
