Methods and Tools for Drought Analysis and Management

by Giuseppe Rossi (Editor), Teodoro Vega (Editor), Brunella Bonaccorso (Editor)

Frequent drought events have recently occurred in different Mediterranean regions. These have highlighted a general inadequacy of the current strategies applied to mitigate negative impacts of such phenomenon. This book provides various methods of drought monitoring at different spatial scales, as well as innovative drought forecasting techniques based on stochastic approaches. Besides common drought indices (i.e. SPI), new agrometeorological indices are proposed.
