Article Description

The persistent situation of a drought in a specific geographical zone harms the economic, climatic, societal, and various other environmental issues associated with its habitat. Since the last decade, there have been various attempts to study and find an effective solution for overcoming drought situations. In most studies, the standard precipitation index (SPI) is a prime indicator to study drought. The present study considers a case study of 35 meteorological stations of Belagavi district, Karnataka, India. It presents a comprehensive statistical analysis to examine the severity due to the drought conditions. The complete analysis has been carried out considering standard performance metrics over the considered area's climatic data. Also, an attempt has been made to develop a relationship between SPI and PCI, which can act as proxy to compute the drought index and for monitoring the presence of drought in an area. The proposed study contributes towards giving the true picture of drought, which can assist the planners and managers in taking pre-emptive measures to overcome the situation.
