Agricultural Drought Assessment using Remote Sensing Data (Case study: Tuyserkan County) by Maedeh Malmir, Kamran Shayesteh, Iman Pazhouhan

“…Introduction In recent years, with the growing significance of drought and climate change, there is an increasing need for a well-structured plan to implement effective management strategies and monitor drought conditions. Considering the importance of investigating agricultural drought in relation to the yield of agricultural products and the fact that agriculture in Iran has always been affected by the amount and distribution of inappropriate rainfall, and climate change has caused problems in the cultivation conditions in the country by causing anomalies in temperature and precipitation; in recent years, due to the lack of suitable moisture conditions in the soil and the decrease of rainfall in the spring season, the amount of production and the quality of products have suffered serious threats, among these threats is the threat to human food security and, by nature, social and economic problems. …”
