Abstract

A color‐coded early warning system is developed and proposed for drought management on the real‐time reservoir operation. The system consists of three essential elements, namely, (1) drought watch, (2) water consumption measure, and (3) policy making. A new drought alert index is used to characterize the alert level of drought severity. For demonstration the drought warning procedures were effectively applied to a real‐world two‐parallel‐reservoir region in northern Taiwan. The implementation of such a system proves that the decision support‐like system can help the water authorities concerned take a timely action while confronting drought threats.
