Predictions of floods, droughts, and fast drought‐flood transitions are required at different
time scales to develop management strategies targeted at minimizing negative societal and …

Reducing the social, environmental, and economic impacts of droughts and identifying
pathways towards drought resilient societies remains a global priority. A common …

In recent years droughts have been occurring frequently, and their impacts are being
aggravated by the rise in water demand and the variability in hydro-meteorological variables …

Drought is a complex phenomenon which can be characterised mainly by its severity,
duration and areal extent. Among these three dimensions, drought severity is the key factor …

Regional drought assessment is conventionally based on drought indices for the
identification of drought intensity, duration and areal extent. In this study, a new index, the …

Hydrological Drought: Processes and Estimation Methods for Streamflow and Groundwater,
Second Edition provides a comprehensive review of processes and estimation methods for …

A new general drought index is proposed for the assessment of meteorological drought
severity. The new index called Reconnaissance Drought Index, RDI, is based on cumulative …

Human activities have increasingly intensified the severity, frequency, and negative impacts
of droughts in several regions across the world. This trend has led to broader scientific …

This study aims to model the joint drought duration and severity distribution using two-
dimensional copulas. The method of inference function for margins (IFM method) is …

Hydrological drought events have very different causes and effects. Classifying these events
into distinct types can be useful for both science and management. We propose a …
