Proposed Study Design for Spatio-Temporal Drought Assessment Using Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) and Adaptation Over Mantaro Valley, Peru

Case study author Del Piero R. Arana Ruedas. This paper presents a proposed study design for a Spatio-temporal drought assessment using Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) and Adaptation over Mantaro Valley, Peru. An in-depth literature review is undertaken followed by a description of the types of data that will be used to undertake a risk assessment analysis with proposed objective to create a risk assessment at multiple time intervals for Mantaro Valley. Arana proposes that the results be analyzed and used as a source of insights and needed changes to the current Peruvian National Adaption Plan (NAP). In addition, the Regional Adaptation Plan, where the Mantaro Valley is located will be contrasted with the drought risk assessment result to understand its effectiveness to finally provide adaptation strategies evaluated throughout social, economic, and environmental criteria.
