Agricultural drought serves as a major threat to food security and economic prosperity. In other words, the greater the drought, the greater the reduction of food production which leads to higher prices due to economic supply and demand.232 pagesenCopyright 2017 ADEL AL-SHOMRANYGeographic information science and geodesyRemote sensingGeographyDissertation
