Drought Impact Assessment Tools

Drought Impact Assessment Tools are methods used to evaluate the effects of drought on various aspects such as water supply, agriculture, ecosystems, and communities. They analyze data like rainfall, soil moisture, and water usage to identify areas at risk and measure potential damages. These tools help planners and policymakers understand drought severity, plan resource management, and develop strategies to mitigate impacts. Essentially, they provide a structured way to assess how drought affects different sectors, enabling more informed decisions to reduce harm and improve resilience during dry periods.
