Spatial characterization of drought events using synthetic hydrology
This paper describes an approach to spatial drought analysis based on multi-site streamflow synthesis. The approach developed can be used to assist with the quantification of the return period for the drought of record and can also be used to facilitate the identification of daesign drought events o...
