Irrigation for agriculture is supplied by surface water and groundwater sources, both of which are impacted by drought through different mechanisms. Drought may motivate the leasing of water, sale of cattle, or decision on whether to plant for the season. We provide geospatial solutions to analyze drought impacts while considering future climate change.
