Abstract
Drought identification and characterisation is a complicated task, because drought is a complex natural phenomenon difficult to detect. Several methodologies have been proposed for drought characterisation, based either on the consequences or on specially devised indices. This chapter focuses on the critical presentation of some of the most popular drought indices. Duration and spatial extent of drought are also dimensions that are analysed.
