Abstract
This study assessed drought of Cheongmicheon watershed from 1985 to 2015 according to duration. In order to quantify drought, we used meteorological and hydrological drought index. Standardized Precipitation Index(SPI) based on precipitation and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index(SPEI) based on precipitation and evapotranspiration were applied as meteorological drought index. Palmer Drought Severity Index(PDSI) and Stream Drought Index(SDI) based on simulation of Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT) model were applied as agricultural and hydrological drought index. As a result, in case average of extreme and averaged drought, 2014 and 2015 have the most vulnerable in all drought indices. Variation of drought showed different trend with regard to analysis of frequency. Also, the extreme and averaged drought have high correlation between drought indices excluding between PDSIs. However, each drought index showed different occurrence year and severity of drought Therefore, drought indices with various characteristics were used to analysis drought.
