Abstract
Drought is a recurring phenomenon that receives greatest regional attention when it makes a major impact on the economy. Here an impact is taken to mean any change that can be directly or indirectly attributed to a drought. Drought intensity is closely tied to changes in the hydrological cycle because drought impacts can occur at any juncture in the cycle where natural or managed systems are sensitive to changes in precipitation, snowpack, streamflow, surface water storage, soil water storage, or groundwater.
