Drought Classification and Forecast

Drought Early Warning Criteria

Warning (Weak drought)	Meteorological Drought It is assumed that the weather drought is expected to continue to be below the standard precipitation index of -1.0 or less (about 65% of the normal year) using the accumulated 6-month precipitation, but it may reflect regional precipitation characteristics. * Standard precipitation index: Comparing cumulative precipitation over a certain period with precipitation during the same period,o Agricultural Water [Rice field] Agricultural equipment less than 70% of normal water [Field] Less than 60% effective water content of soil Residential and industrial water The water level of rivers and water facilities is lower than normal, so that the drought needs to be managed, such as managing the amount of living and industrial water in order to supply normal water.
Caution (Normal drought)	Meteorological Drought It is assumed that the weather drought is expected to continue to be below the standard precipitation index of -1.5 or less (about 55% of the normal year) using the accumulated 6-month precipitation, but it may reflect the regional precipitation characteristics. Agricultural Water [Rice field] Agricultural equipment Less than 60% of normal water supply, water supply is expected to be inadequate for rice planting water supply with a non-fertilizer storage capacity approaching [Field] Less than 45% effective water content of soil for soil cultivation Residential and industrial water The water level of rivers and water facilities is low, so that the flow rate of stream maintenance is limited or the supply of river maintenance water is required in dams and reservoirs.
Severe (Severe drought)	Meteorological Drought It is assumed that the meteorological drought will last for less than the standard precipitation index of -2.0 or less (about 45% of the normal year) using the accumulated 6-month cumulative rainfall Agricultural Water [Rice field] farmer When the average water saving rate is 50% or less [Field] Farmer Soil Effective Moisture Content Less than 30% ※ If drought damage is expected or expected in the above situationo Residential and industrial water If there is a shortage of living or industrial water in rivers and water facilities and there is a concern about the occurrence, there is a need to limit the supply of river water and agricultural water
Very Severe (Extreme drought)	Meteorological Drought The standard precipitation index of less than -2.0 (45% compared with the normal year) using the cumulative precipitation in the last 6 months is considered to be the case where the drought is expected to continue for 20 days or more and the drought damage is expected nationwide Agricultural Water [Rice field] farmer When the average water saving rate is 40% or less [Field] Farmer Soil Effective Moisture Content Less than 15% ※ If a large-scale drought damage occurred or expected in the above situation Residential and industrial water If living and industrial water shortage in rivers and water facilities has increased, and there are restrictions on the supply of Residential and industrial water in rivers, dams, reservoirs, etc.

Groundwater Supply

Observatory Water Support

In the case of drought near the groundwater observation station(GOS) an emergency pump and water car should supply to the observation area and supply agricultural water in the nearby area - Review and support the water supply area through the observatory
when requested by local governments
