- W761274853 abstract "Drought is a complex phenomenon with devastating effects on different sectors, especially water resources. It is hard to measure and evaluate drought due to its variations in temporal and spatial magnitude. South Carolina has a proactive drought management program to monitor and mitigate drought. The SC Drought Response Committee (DRC) evaluates climatic data and multiple drought indices to declare drought alert phases that trigger drought policy implementation. Previous research shows that different indicators are inconsistent in detecting drought and sometimes show opposite results. This research takes a closer look at the work of the DRC in the complex decision-making process of evaluating drought indicators to determine drought alert phases. The purpose of this research is to investigate drought indicators and their resemblance with the DRC drought alert phases in detecting drought onset, duration, severity and recovery. The research demonstrates a method to assess relationships among seven drought indicators and the DRC alert phases. The preliminary analysis is focused on Florence County and ability of indicators to detect the last two major droughts for a period of 2000-2008. The drought indices and the DRC alert phases were generally inconsistent with each other. However, there is a close resemblance between the DRC alert phases with the U.S. Drought Monitor (DM). These results can be explained with the fact that both the DRC and the DM use an integrated approach and rely on analyses of several key indices and ancillary indicators. This research aims to benefit a decision-making process for drought and water managers, government officials, and stakeholders as it informs drought assessment through the use of major drought indicators." @default.
