Pakistan has a semiarid climate system with a high degree of interannual rainfall variability. This study evaluates the applicability and comparison of 3 drought indices (deciles index [DI], standardized precipitation index [SPI] and reconnaissance drought index [RDI]) in Pakistan. Monthly rainfall and temperature data (1981-2017) from 30 weather stations were used to analyze the current status of drought occurrence in terms of severity and magnitude. A nonparametric Mann-Kendall test and Sen’s slope estimates were applied on drought indices to determine the statistical significance and magnitude of the trend. The DI captured the dry episodes in the region well, as Baluchistan and Sindh provinces have been seen to be more susceptible to droughts. The indices of SPI and RDI were well correlated at 3, 6, 9 and 12 mo timescales. Province-level analysis revealed the highest number of drought years during the 3 mo timescale and the lowest number of drought years during the 12 mo timescale. Overall, a linearly increasing trend of SPI and RDI (towards wetness) was observed, whereas the province-level analysis showed a statistically significant trend at the 95% confidence level for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Sindh in the long-term drought analysis. Moreover, analyses of historical drought years and their intensity have been investigated and compared with a recent long drought episode (1999-2002). The analysis of historical drought events highlights the challenging nature of drought management in Pakistan. The outcomes of this study would help water resource managers to investigate drought response measures for drought preparedness in the country.
