Using Technological Tools To Cope With Drought

Abstract

For the purposes of our discussion today I have classified technological drought strategies in still another way: (1) ultimate, (2) conventional and (3) innovative. The ultimate strategy for dealing with drought would be to possess the capability to predict or forecast its geographic occurrence and severity weeks or even months in advance. Such a capability would allow for management decisions to be made in advance of the crisis. These decisions would reflect thorough planning and the best possible allocation of resources given the pending drought.
