Integrated Drought Management, Volume 1

Assessment and Spatial Analyses in Changing Climate

About this book

The first volume of this comprehensive global perspective on Integrated Drought Management is focused on understanding drought, causes, and the assessment of drought impacts. It explains different types of drought: agricultural, meteorological, hydrological, and socioeconomic droughts, their indices and the impact of climate change on drought. The volume also examines spatiotemporal analysis of drought, variability and patterns, assessment, and drought evaluation. With numerous case studies from India, Mexico, Turkey, Brazil, US, and other countries, this volume serves as a valuable resource for all readers who want to advance their knowledge on drought and risk management.

Features:

  • Provides a global perspective on drought prediction and management and a synthesis of the recent state of knowledge.
  • Covers a wide range of topics from essential concepts and advanced techniques for forecasting and modeling drought to societal impacts, consequences, and planning.
  • Presents numerous case studies with different management approaches from different regions and countries.
  • Addresses how climate change impacts drought, the increasing challenges associated with managing drought, decision making, and policy implications.
  • Includes contributions from hundreds of experts around the world.

    • Professionals, researchers, academics, and postgraduate students with knowledge in environmental sciences, ecology, agriculture, forestry, hydrology, water resources engineering, and earth sciences, as well as those interested in how climate change impacts drought management, will gain new insights from the experts featured in this two-volume handbook.
