The increasing risk of severe droughts and water shortages
emphasizes the need for an integrated approach to drought
mitigation. However, effective tools for the implementation of such
an approach have not been available till now. This book contributes
to an improved preparedness for drought in water supply systems,
providing tools useful for a better decision making process in
drought management. It presents methods and software features of a
Decision Support System (DSS) developed within a European research
project and consists of three main parts. The first part deals with
the advanced techniques for hydrological drought identification and
monitoring; the second analyses the successful use of
climate-crop-soil models in defining deficit irrigation strategies;
the third provides tools for improving the operation of irrigation
supply reservoirs. All methods are embedded in a user-friendly DSS
package that has been applied in several Case Studies of
Mediterranean countries (Portugal, Italy, Tunisia, Jordan and
Syria) and whose results are also compared.
