Topics Drought defined U.S Drought Monitor The beginnings of drought? A simple discussion of drought development – spatial and temporal description Where do we stand now?

Drought Defined A drought is defined as "a period of abnormally dry weather sufficiently prolonged for the lack of water to cause serious hydrologic imbalance in the affected area.” Glossary of Meteorology (1959). – Meteorological – Agricultural – Hydrological – Socioeconomic As simple definition that is difficult to apply

U.S Drought Monitor The Drought Monitor is a joint effort between the DOC, NOAA, USDA, NDMC and many other federal, state, and local agencies Collaborators include: SCs, RCCs, RISAs, university researchers, and drought planners and managers NIDIS forms an umbrella to coordinate these organizations and activities

The end of Drought ?

The Summer of 2011 Stationary meteorological conditions over a wide regional area Extremes in temperature and precipitation Enlargement of drought area and intensity Widespread drought impacts observed in numerous ecological and economic sectors
