Abstract
Monitoring of Agricultural Drought in the Middle Euphrates Area, IraqUsing Landsat Dataset
Highlights
Drought is an intricate risk, and it negatively effects cultivation, environmental, biological, and ecosystem
The change detection analysis that presented in this study is based on the statistics extracted from the six drought maps using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)-based Vegetation Condition Index (VCI) index
The results revealed that the drought areas had a noticeable increase compared with no drought area; from the figures 4-10 we observed that the no-drought area was very smaller compared with drought area during the period from 1988 to 2018
Summary
Drought is an intricate risk, and it negatively effects cultivation, environmental, biological, and ecosystem. Drought is a regional phenomenon and its characteristics will differ from one climate system to another [2]. Drought can deactivate both ecological and economic systems, prompting to populace migration. Agriculture is considered one of the most sector vulnerable to drought compared with the other sectors. In regions, which suffered from drought, the poor farmer is the most vulnerable to threat when severe weather conditions could undermine the yields efficiency and increment economic losses. Agricultural drought season causes the plant covering lose vegetation water content and colors [4]
