Abstract

Drought is one of the most serious natural hazards that have more effect on human societies than the others. There are several METEOROLOGICAL DROUGHT indices for drought study. Although no index is superior to other indices in all circumstances, but every one has been developed for specific aims. The study of drought using different indices may conclude to the different answers for the existence and nonexistence of the drought and therefore some of them are better for special applications and areas.In this paper, the applicability of different indices viz. Z-Score, PNPI, DPI, RAI and SPI were assessed in BAKHTEGAN, TASHK, AND MAHARLO LAKES WATERSHED. The above five indices were calculated using monthly PRECIPITATION data from 8 meteorological stations during 30 years (1970-99) for 1, 2, 6, 9 and 12 month basis. Then monthly indices were changed into annual scale. The correlation matrix among indices as well as minimum PRECIPITATION, average and standard deviation were used to select the most suitable index. The results showed that DPI and PNPI classified the least annual PRECIPITATION in time scale in severe and extreme drought in all study stations and these indices have had less standard deviation and more mean values compare to other indices and therefore have more efficiency to other indices for METEOROLOGICAL DROUGHT determination.
