North American Drought Monitor

The North American Drought Monitor (NADM) is a collaborative effort that tracks and reports on drought conditions across North America, which includes the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It uses a range of data, including precipitation, temperature, and soil moisture, to create maps that show where drought is occurring and how severe it is. The NADM helps government agencies, farmers, and communities understand and respond to drought, aiding in water management and conservation efforts. Its assessments are updated regularly, providing timely information essential for decision-making related to drought impacts.
