Hydrological Drought: Processes and Estimation Methods for Streamflow and Groundwater, Second Edition is a comprehensive resource that provides a thorough examination of processes and estimation methods for streamflow and groundwater drought. It offers a qualitative conceptual understanding of drought features and processes, a detailed presentation of estimation methods and tools, practical examples and impacts relevant for operational practice. The book illustrates the drought phenomenon and its diversity across the world using a global set of daily streamflow series, while regional and local aspects of drought are studied using a combination of hydrological time series and catchment information.

Concluding the book, the author explores human impacts, including climate change impacts on drought, drought forecasting and early warning, and examples of procedures for managing water during drought. While the majority of the examples are taken from regions where rivers run most of the year, the material presented spans from well-established knowledge and analytical methods to recent developments in drought research. The nature of the book varies accordingly, from a more traditional textbook and clear overview to that of a research paper, which introduces recent approaches and methodologies for drought analysis.

This second edition of Hydrological Drought is an invaluable tool for professionals, researchers, and students interested in understanding and managing drought in various water-related contexts. It offers a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on the subject, making it an essential reference for anyone working in the field of hydrology and water resources management.
