- Meteorological drought:
- "A period
of
abnormally dry weather sufficiently prolonged
for the lack of water to
cause serious
hydrologic imbalance in the affected area."
(Huschke,
R.E., ed., 1959, Glossary of meteorology: Boston, American
Meteorological Society, 638 p.)
-
- Agricultural drought:
- "A climatic
excursion involving a shortage of precipitation sufficient to adversely
affect crop production or range production."
(Rosenberg, N.J., ed.,
1979, Drought in the Great Plains--Research on impacts and strategies:
Proceedings of the Workshop on Research in Great Plains Drought
Management Strategies, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, March 26-28:
Littleton, Colorado, Water Resources Publications, 225 p.)
-
- Hydrologic drought:
- "A period
of
below average water content in streams, reservoirs, ground-water
aquifers, lakes and soils." (Yevjevich Vujica,
Hall, W.A., and Salas,
J.D, eds., 1977, Drought research needs, in Proceedings of the
Conference on Drought Research Needs, December 12-15, 1977: Colorado
State University, Fort Collins, Colorado, 276 p.)
Definitions from the
National Drought Mitigation Center
Miscelleaneous Definitions
Because
the definition of a drought can be a complex issue, a collection of
other definitions of drought follows. Note that particular definitions
may not be appropriate for individual circumstances, and that some of
the definitions may be quite location specific. Other definitions can
be suggested for inclusion by sending email to the maintainer listed at
the bottom of this page; be sure to include a full bibliographic
reference for the definition.
- Drought:Dryness due to lack of
rain...
- An absolute
drought is a period of at least 15 consecutive days to
none of which is credited 0.01
inches of rain or more.
- A partial drought is a period of at least 29 consecutive
days, the mean daily rainfall of which does not exceed 0.01 inches.
- A
dry spell is a period of at least 15
consecutive days to none of which
is credited 0.04
inches or more...
- The definitions of absolute drought
anf partial drought were introduced in British Rainfall, p. 21, 1887,
while that of dry spell was first used in British Rainfall, p. 15, 1919
[from Meteorological Glossary, Air Ministry, 3rd ed., London, 1944, p.
68.] [from Glossary of Geology and Related Sciences, American
Geological Institute, Washington, D.C., 1957, p. 89.).
