Drought is a costly natural hazard with far-reaching impacts on agriculture, ecosystem, water
supply, and socio-economy. While propagating through the water cycle, drought evolves into …

Droughts occur naturally, but climate change has generally accelerated the hydrological
processes to make them set in quicker and become more intense, with many consequences …

Terrestrial water storage (TWS) modulates the hydrological cycle and is a key determinant of
water availability and an indicator of drought. While historical TWS variations have been …

Traditional, mainstream definitions of drought describe it as deficit in water‐related variables
or water‐dependent activities (eg, precipitation, soil moisture, surface and groundwater …

Hydrological droughts are characterized based on their duration, severity, and magnitude.
Among the most critical factors, precipitation, evapotranspiration, and runoff are essential in …

Drought assessment is crucial to mitigate its adverse impact, especially in India, where risk
is more due to an increase in population and climate change. However, most of the studies …

Drought prediction is of critical importance to early warning for drought managements. This
review provides a synthesis of drought prediction based on statistical, dynamical, and hybrid …

Drought is a severe and chronic natural hazard that deeply affects production and
livelihoods. Its characteristics and propagation have been extensively discussed, but the …

Previous studies seldom consider humidity when examining heat‐related extremes, and
none have explored the effects of humidity on concurrent extremes of high heat stress and …

Water resources are critical to the sustainability of life on Earth. With a growing population
and climate change, it is imperative to assess the security of these resources. Over the past …
