What is Drought?
A natural hazard and is a part of climatic condition for all regions of the world Condition of moisture deficit caused by a certain climatic conditions occurring at a
specific location for a specific duration Stems from the lack of precipitation, precipitation deficiency for a season, a year or
longer Triggered, when water supplies become insufficient to meet the requirements

Pakistan in Historical Perspective
During 1999-2000- 2.21 million people population
affected- 23.51 million livestock
A weak drought developed in mid-2009 to mid-2010
- Resulting 30% below normal monsoon rains in northern area.
- 2.5% drop in crop yield (Wheat)

Study Area
The Barani (rainfed) Land covers the Salt Range and the Pothohar Plateau
The climate is semi-arid and sub tropical
There is no means of canal irrigation system in this area and the agriculture primarily depends on the amount of rainfall
Being hilly in nature the water retention is limited due to peculiar drainage pattern of Potohar region
In the past, several droughts have experienced in this area that left a drastic agricultural and socioeconomic impact

Problem Statement
- The study area is more vulnerable to short term droughts especially in winters due to the absence of Western Depression
- Anomaly of temperatures, humidity and increasing solar flux also accelerate the reduction of water content in soil and atmosphere
- Occurrence of such conditions and prolonged absence of regular rainfall lead to drought conditions, affecting crop yields and thus economy of the country
Objectives
Utilization of Geo-spatial techniques (RS & GIS) for Drought monitoring, as a cost effective and precise option compared to traditional approaches
Identification and assessment of drought severity and anomalies in the Potohar region during 2009-2010
Delineation of significant meteorological parameters that may contribute to the occurrence of short term meteorological droughts.
Development of spatial extent of drought severity map that can help to identify the most affected area in a region.

NCEP Meteorological Data
Satellite data from National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR).
The global atmospheric resolution is approximately 38 km, extending to 0.5beyond the tropics.

Identification of Drought period
The multi temporal images in NDVI for year 2002 to 2013 were stacked into a single imagery.
The 13 year collective NDVI image was used to obtain temporal signature of minimum, maximum, and mean NDVI values.
The signatures showing NDVI trend and deviation from mean NDVI was plotted.

Vegetation Condition Index (VCI)
The VCI is a pixel-wise normalization of NDVI that is useful for making relative assessments of changes in the NDVI signal by filtering out the contribution of local geographic resources to the spatial variability of NDVI.
It shows how close the NDVI of the current month is to the minimum NDVI calculated from the long-term record.
VCI j = (NDVI j NDVI min) * 100(NDVI max NDVI min)
Where, - NDVI max and NDVI min are calculated from the long-term record (e.g., 23 years) for that month (or week)
The vegetation condition/health represented by VCI is measurement that is represented in percentage.

Standardized Precipitation Index
The SPI is an expression that calculates and represents the deficiency of rainfall for different time scales.
Six-month based SPI indicates medium term trend in precipitation pattern.
Therefore six month SPI was calculated for the winter drought season for the year 2009 2010, i.e., cultivation period September-February.
Z score = (X-) / Standard DeviationWhere,
- Z score is SPI value- X is precipitation value- represents mean of six month rainfall

Fuzzy Overlay
The Fuzzy Overlay tool allows analysis of possibility of a phenomenon belonging tomultiple sets in a multi-criteria overlay analysis.
Fuzzy Overlay not only determines what sets the phenomenon is possibly a member of,it also analyzes the relationships between the memberships of the multiple sets.
Overlay type lists the methods available to combine the data based on set theoryanalysis.
The available methods are Fuzzy And, Fuzzy Or, Fuzzy Product, Fuzzy Sum, and FuzzyGamma. Each approach provides a different aspect of each cell's membership to themultiple input criteria.

Results
There was an unexpected decrease in NDVI value in 2009-2010, which caused a short termdrought.
A negative relationship between NDVI and SPI, in month of October was observed thattriggered the condition of drought for that period.
A decreasing trend was observed in relationship between NDVI and humidity. This could beuseful to identify water stresses on crops.
Overall severity map generated gives a significant understanding about the areas undervarious degrees of drought stress

Significance of the study
Nearly 62 percent of the population in rural areas is directly or indirectly associated with
agriculture sector for their livelihood, such studies would have direct impact on their
socio-economic condition
This study has the potential to act as a benchmark for understanding drought
phenomenon using satellite-based meteorological data keeping in view the fact that
other means of irrigation were not available in the study area
This study provided a methodology which can be used in future to identify any drought
condition occurring in this region. Thus it could be used as an early warning tool for
farmers, food availability, crop insurance agencies, water management and policy
makers.
