In this study, the hydrological and meteorological drought index with precipitation as a major factor were calculated, and various analyses of hydrological drought were conducted. The Modified Surface Water Supply Index (MSWSI) was applied to the hydrological drought index and Standardize Precipitation Index (SPI) was used to estimate the meteorological drought index. The target area for the estimation is the dam area among MSWSI categories. The 4001 basin with 43 years data from 1975 to 2017 was analyzed for the drought occurrence status and time series plotted with the monthly SPI and MSWSI. For the dam watershed based on the precipitation that has the role of a water supply in the hydrological cycle, correlation analysis of precipitation, dam inflow, and stream flow was performed by the monthly and moving average (2~9 months), and the correlation between meteorological and hydrological index by monthly and moving average (3, 6 months) was then calculated. The result of multifaced analysis of the hydrological drought index and meteorological drought index is believed to be useful in developing water policy.
