Drought monitoring involves the systematic and continuous assessment of drought conditions in a particular region or area. This typically involves collecting and analyzing data on various indicators of drought, such as precipitation levels, temperature, soil moisture, and vegetation health. The goal of drought monitoring is to provide timely and accurate information to policymakers, water resource managers, and other stakeholders to help them make informed decisions about drought response and mitigation efforts. Techniques used in drought monitoring can include remote sensing, satellite imagery, and computer modeling.
