Linkage of Drought Group Activities with Demonstration Projects Meteorological Drought Rain falls well below longterm average Hydrological Drought Lesser inflow in streams & reservoirs DPs Agricultural Drought Crop production fails to achieve the optimum Socio-economic Drought Divergence of population due to lack of food and water

Current Status Developing a DATA bank • • Collection of Meteorological & Hydrological parameters • Routine soil moisture observations (filling the data gaps) • Planning to move forward with practical approach • Making efforts to show the system adaptable in member countries

Scientific Supporting Team To advise on choice of RS Data sets for retrieval of soil moisture and • develop algorithms • To integrate in-situ and RS soil Moisture data and meteorological data • To analyse data sets for drought in relation to demonstration projects • To incorporate results in adaptive activities of Dem Projects • To prepare drought monitoring indices and demonstrate software • To make use of numerical products and GCM output • To present a trial early warning system

Data Situation A.Soil Moisture/Soil Temperature Bangladesh: 9 soil moisture stations, weekly data for 5 layers China: Shanxi Province, 108 stations, Met and ST data 6hour, SM per 10 days, 3 layers Mangolia: 3 stations at Mandalgobi, Deren, Bayantsaagan since 2001, A half hourly and/or hourly automatic measurement Pakistan: 4 stations (Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Tandojam and Quetta), SM per 10 days, for 10 layers at 10cm interval upto 1m depth. Veitnam: Only one Soil Temp station (Phan Thiet), 4 times/day ; no soil moisture

Me Meteor orological Data ological Data � Pressure � Precipitation � Air Temperature � Relative Humidity � Sunshine Duration � Solar Radiation � Wind Speed � Veitnam has been uploading data of Binh Thuan Province: (10 ° 34'13"N - 11 ° 37'30"N,107 ° 23'30" E- 108 ° 52'30"E) � 3 Surface Stations (Phan Thiet: 11 ° 56' N- 108 ° 06‘E, Phú Quý: 10 ° 36‘N - 108 ° 56‘E, La Gi: 10 ° 40‘N – 107 ° 46‘E); P, T, R, RH, 4 times/day ; � China, Mongolia and Pakistan have also started reporting meteorological data

Remo mote Sensing Data Sensing Data � Microwave: AMSR-E (Dr. Kaihitsu and Dr. Wen), AMSR-E SM products from JAXA and NASA are used � Optical: MODIS (Dr. Orn-uma Polpanich, Dr. Ghulam Rasul) � Data duration needed for retrieval and validation Jan 2006-Dec 2007

Supplementary Data Information of soil physical parameters including � Soil texture, � Soil type, � Porosity, � Saturated hydraulic conductivity, � Bulk density, etc.

Retrieval of Soil Moisture Data � Choose the two typical areas (getting the algorism) in Asia: Dry climate condition: Mongolia, Pakistan; wet climate condition: Bangladesh, Vietnam and Thailand � Besides the AMSR-E data used by Prof. Kaihotsu and Prof. Wen, MODIS data is used by AIT group. � Retrieval of SM data in two typical areas (Mongolia and Bangladesh) � After the retrieval of SM data in Mongolia and Bangladesh, SM products will be extended to Shanxi province of china and Pakistan � Dr. Ailikun and Jie WEI are trying to get drought indices by using AMSR- E soil moisture products

Addressing W Addressing Wat ater r Quality Issue Quality Issue � Increase in temperature, in addition to other effects, will cause sea level to rise. � Intrusion of sea water inland will deteriorate the quality of surface and ground water � Also the increased occurrence of intense rains, will generate heavy loads of eroded soil � Water quality for drinking water supply may be compromised due to high cost of filtration.

Submission of APN C Submission of APN CAPaBLE pr aBLE proposal in 2009 oposal in 2009 � Pr Proposal title: oposal title: Drought monitoring system development by integrating in-situ data, satellite data and numerical output � Pr Proponent’s name oponent’s name: Prof. Ichirow Kaihotsu � Main Main use f use for APN funding r APN funding: � Workshops � Networking � Training courses � Data sharing, programming, software � Report and publications

Tentativ ntative plans f plans for 20 or 2010 � Keep building the drought monitoring and researching network of member Asian countries for AWCI � Continue providing and sharing the soil moisture and other metrological data of the ground-based and satellite monitoring; a training workshop � Building a closer collaboration with other AWCI groups, reviewing demonstration projects to step in their adaptation activities � Devising mechanism to share data (building up the web site of the data bank) � Call for contributions for the drought working group report.

Tentativ ntative plans f plans for 20 or 2011 11 � Provide and share the soil moisture dada of the ground- based, satellite and modeling products � Collaborating with Demonstration Projects to hold seminars and workshops in member countries to develop capacity and exchanging the experience and expertise � Improving standard of drought monitoring & assessment � providing the trial early warning system for drought hazard in related countries � Making use of numerical products for drought related studies � Publication of drought working group report.
