Drought Management Plan-1

This document outlines a group project to develop a drought risk management plan for Tlemcen, Algeria. The objectives are to enhance drought monitoring and early warning tools using remote sensing and GIS to improve resilience. The work plan is to prepare technical and financial proposals. For the technical proposal, the group will use NDVI and SPI indices with Landsat images to create GIS drought maps and characterize drought timescales to define the current drought situation. The financial proposal will specify response actions and analyze risk management strategies. The overall goal is to support improved drought monitoring and community preparedness.

INTRODUCTION
 Study Area: (Tlemcen) Algeria- North Africa
 Drought is one of the major environmental disasters, which have been occurring in almost
all climatic zones and damage to the environment and economies of several countries has been
extensive and death toll of livestock unprecedented.

 Like many countries in Africa, Algeria has not been spared by the effects of drought.
Known for its arid and semi-arid climate, Algeria is increasingly facing extreme climate events
that have gradually increased its vulnerability. In addition, the recurring periods of drought,
which have become longer, have exacerbated the desertification phenomenon.

 The evaluation of probable risk arising out of drought in Tlemcen wilaya would help in
developing better management plan to mitigating drought impacts.
OBJECTIVES
 Our objective

The main objective of this Consultancy is to support the development of drought


monitoring tools and early warning using RS and GIS (ArcGIS) to improve
community resilience to drought in Tlemcen.

 SpecificObjectives
 Enhanced and reliable collection of meteorological data,
 Enhanced drought monitoring and forecasting,
 Disseminate effective, credible and reliable warning messages to enable timely
drought preparedness and response ,
 Enhanced regional coordination of drought management.
WORK PLAN
 Preparation of Technical Proposal
 Use of temporal images from Landsat ETM based on Normalize Difference Vegetation Index
(NDVI) and Standard Precipitation Index (SPI), a relatively new drought index based only on
precipitation.

 NDVI will be used to come up with GIS drought maps.

 SPI will be used to characterize meteorological drought on a range of timescales.

 Therefore, GIS tools will be used to define the existing situation of drought in Tlemcen.
 Preparation of Financial Proposal
 After specifying the actions that will be taken in response to the drought and analyzing the
alternative strategies for managing risk, , a financial proposal shall be prepared.
