This Handbook of Drought Indicators and is based on available literature and draws findings from relevant works wherever possible. It covers some of the most commonly used drought indicators/indices that are being applied across drought-prone regions, with the goal of advancing monitoring, early warning, and information delivery systems in support of risk-based drought management policies and preparedness plans. The handbook addresses the needs of practitioners and policymakers and is considered a resource guide/material for practitioners and not an academic paper. This publication is part of the ‘Integrated Drought Management Tools and Guidelines Series’, compiled by the Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP).
