Abstract
With the increasing effect from climate changes and human activities drought takes place so frequently that it brings a lot of dangers to the water security and ecological safety. The northeast area of China is the largest national commodity grain base and an important industrial and energy base, but drought is a bottleneck for the development of the area's national economy. It is very important to identify the driving mechanism of generalised drought in this area. The generalised drought driving model in this area can be identified by analysing the climate elements and underlying surface condition evolution rules. Cubic spline function is employed for the trend analysis, as well as the Mann-Kendall method and Yamamoto method for the mutation detection. We also analyse the drought change caused by land use change and the construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects. The driving factors of generalised drought in the northeast of China are natural climate variability (NCV), anthropogenic climate change (ACC), underlying conditions change (UCC) and hydraulic engineering regulation (HER). It can be seen that generalised drought has been affected by ACC since 1982.
