  • Abstract:
  • Drought is a prolonged period of abnormally low precipitation that results in a water shortage, significantly impacting the environment, agriculture, economies, and communities. The middle part of Maharashtra that is (Marathwada), India has been facing critical conditions due to the droughts from last few years. The condition is occurs due to irregular mansoon and uneven rainfall. As climate change continues to alter weather patterns, proactive measures, such as improved water conservation techniques, sustainable land management practices, and resilient agricultural systems, will be essential in addressing the challenges posed by drought. Drought severity refers to the intensity and impact of drought conditions in a specific region over time. It is assessed using various indicators and classification systems that quantify how severe a drought is based on environmental, agricultural, hydrological, and socioeconomic factors. The present study of drought is mainly focuses on the methodology of Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), Land surface tempreture (LST) and Soil moisture index (SMI). By using various surface and metrological parameters and past 30 years of weather data, these value has been concluded and maps generated by using QGIS software. Calculations are also done by using QGIS
