Drought Impacts on Hydrological Ecosystem Services: Indicators and Methodological Processes
摘要
This study identifies existing gaps in the sustainable management of drought by applying it to derived Hydrological Ecosystem Services (HES). The proposal integrates physical and socioeconomic indicators, assessing the impact of socioeconomic factors such as quality of life, economic development, communication networks, and demographic changes, tailored to regional characteristics to evaluate the impact of these factors on environmental change in the HES. Finally, the present work proposes a strategy to generate a comprehensive modeling for introducing practical indicators to process the evaluation of them for future research. The selection of drought analysis indices depends on available data and regional requirements, necessitating the integration of diverse data and advanced modeling. The research methodology is divided into three parts: theoretical, analytical, and developmental. The analytical part involves evaluating possible collected data, emphasizing statistical techniques and spatial monitoring tools. The developmental part focuses on scenario analysis and the evaluation of risks, mitigation, and adaptation strategies.
