Abstract
Drought assessment is usually performed qualitatively and/or quantitatively after defining a drought from meteorological, agricultural, hydrological, and socioeconomic perspective. Most of the drought analyses focus on meteorological, agricultural, and hydrological droughts, whereas the socioeconomic drought evaluation has been not actively performed since it needs different aspects. In this study, after defining a socioeconomic drought applicable to assess droughts in Korea, we suggested Water Excess Deficiency Index (WEDI) as an useful tool to evaluate socioeconomic droughts, based on water demand condition and water supply condition. This study verified the validity of WEDI by comparing with other drought indices (SPI, PDSI) and historical drought condition in Gyeongsang-do in 2001. The results indicated that the WEDI can be used to assess regional droughts in a socioeconomic perspective.
