A review of meteorological drought based indices towards integrated water resources management in Iraq

Drought is considered as one of the natural dangerous and extreme phenomena. Since ancient times, the world had suffered from drought, which has a negative impact on human life that affect economic, social, cultural and tourism sectors. It means a severe shortage of water resources due to lack of ra...
