Case Studies of Drought and Precipitation Assessment for Resilient Water Infrastructure Planning
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2018: International Perspectives, History and Heritage, Emerging Technologies, and Student Papers
ABSTRACT
Droughts detrimentally affect the agriculture, economy, environment, and water resources management. In the recent decades, droughts have been occurring more frequently in many areas in the world, and these are exacerbated by global warming. Also, several global climate models (GCMs) projected that drying trends in precipitation, streamflow, and soil moisture would happen in many parts of low- and mid-latitude countries because of increases in GHG and global warming. Thus, evaluation of future droughts is especially crucial for water resource management and planning.
