Drought changes trend in Khuzestan Province, Iran
Abstract
Iran is a dry country suffering from water crisis. With respect to the role of surface waters in the region ecosystem and the effect of drought on quantity and quality of waters, the present study was carried out to investigate drought changes trend in Khuzestan Province. Therefore, the annual rainfall statistics of synoptic stations in Dezful, Shooshtar,Behbahan, Abadan, MasjedSoleiman, Ahvaz, and Izeh were used for a period of 20 months. The accuracy and of the dataand homogeneity were tested through the run test and double mass analysis. Then, the frequency and severity of drought were studied based on the implementation of standardized precipitation index (SPI). In order to investigate drought changes trend in selected stati...
