Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract. This paper presents research findings and drought zoning of South Central and Central Highlands. Meteorological, hydrological and agricultural drought indices were calculated for drought zoning, drought mapping and severity assessment of drought types, from which recommendations were given for monitoring and remedying the effects of droughts, contributing to socioeconomic development, improving people’s lives of South Central and Central Highlands.
Keywords: Meteorological, hydrological, agricultural drought indices, drought zoning.
