Drought Proneness Analysis of Southern Saskatchewan Province Using Markov Chain Model
Abstract
The southern Saskatchewan region has been recognized for persistent droughts due to its continual rainfall deficiency. To estimate drought severity, a first-order and five-state Markov chain model is used in this study. Long-term daily precipitation records of three stations (Broadview, Last Mountain CS, and Swift Current CDA) were considered for the analysis. The Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) was used to classify the drought severity into …
