Abstract

Drought is a global problem that affects particularly agricultural and water resources. The spatiotemporal drought characteristics and their possible drivers over Upper Awash Basin (UAB) were assessed in magnitude, duration, frequency, and intensity. Gridded data and a statistical downscaling model (SDSM) were used for historical projection. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) at 4- and 12-month timescales were used to compute the drought. The SPI 4-and 12-months indicate 1984, 1987, 2002, 2015, and 2016 years of dominant drought. Persistent dry events were observed in the west, northwestern, and some eastern parts of the study area in Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios. Trend analysis of seasonal shows that a statistically significant (P
