Drought Assessment Framework

The Drought Assessment Framework is a structured approach to evaluate and understand drought conditions. It considers various factors like rainfall deficits, soil moisture, water supply levels, and how these impact agriculture, ecosystems, and communities. By analyzing data from different sources, scientists and planners can identify drought severity, duration, and affected areas. This framework helps in making informed decisions for water management, mitigation strategies, and resource allocation, ultimately aiming to reduce the impacts of droughts on society and the environment. It provides a systematic way to monitor, assess, and respond to drought conditions effectively.
