Developing an Objective, Impacts-Based Framework for Drought Mitigation Activities in Ohio
NIDIS-Supported Research
Main Summary
This project will develop an enhanced set of products and tools for drought monitoring and assessment in Ohio. These enhancements will address the limitation of the current drought monitoring approach and will lead to improved decision-making through the procedures defined by the Drought Incident Annex (DIA).
