Analysis of Moisture Deficit in the Kherson Region Within the Context of Climate Change

Abstract

Developing a predictive system for water deficit analysis in the Black Sea Lowland, especially in climate change, involves integrating various data sources, modeling techniques, and technological tools to forecast water availability and demand. The analysis of the change in moisture deficit in the Kherson region is provided for the period from 1955 to 2022. A description of temperature gradients across the Kherson region is provided. The distribution of precipitation throughout the years in terms of quantity and intensity is provided. As part of the Black Sea Lowland, the Kherson region is critically important for southern Ukraine's agriculture and water security. Given the region's reliance on irrigation and the challenges posed by climate change, developing a predictive system for water deficit analysis is essential. Such a system can help stakeholders make informed decisions to ensure sustainable water management and mitigate the adverse effects of water scarcity.
