Abstract

Drought may be a perennial phenomenon in several arid and semi-arid regions of the planet. Every year it affects various the foremost vulnerable folks. Quantifying drought helps to style a framework that assists the government and therefore the Crop Insurance Corporations to form possible policies. Reliable drought info is of utmost importance for economical drought management. Conditions of drought seem totally on account of considerable downfall deviation from the conventional, however the tragedy is depending on many factors. Satellite observations offer synoptic overviews over massive areas at dense temporal sampling intervals. It presents a totally operational process chain for mapping drought prevalence, extent and strength supported Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro radiometer (MODIS) normalized distinction vegetation index (NDVI) knowledge at 500m resolution. Illustrations area unit provided for the Amadalavalasa and Penukonda Mandals. To quantify the drought strength, the vegetation condition index (VCI) is calculated at peel level from the de-noised NDVI knowledge and is spatially aggregative to administrative body. National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) has been cathartic disaster contingency funds (DCF) to sustain counties in drought conditions. we tend to area unit evaluating however these factors influence a section to be referred to as a ’Drought-Prone’ region and verifying the impact on economy thanks to the present Government’s policies. In this method, we tend to developed a straight forward website that is employed to check the NDVI victimization graphs and validate if a section really ’Drought-Prone’ or not. Any region is used as AN input to gauge the drought condition of the region.
