Abstract:Drought management in the agricultural sector requires monitoring and prediction of this phenomenon, as well as providing a suitable cropping pattern. In this study, the reconnaissance drought index (RDI) was used for drought monitoring in Fars Province, Iran. The status of water resources was predicted using a model that matches the time series of the RDI and the groundwater level. The optimal cropping pattern was obtained according to the predicted available water resources using a genetic algorithm. General… Show more
