Short-Term and Medium-Term Drought Forecasting Using Generalized Additive Models

Short-Term and Medium-Term Drought Forecasting Using Generalized Additive Models

Forecasting extreme hydrological events is critical for drought risk and efficient water resource management in semi-arid environments that are prone to natural hazards. This study aimed at forecasting drought conditions in a semi-arid region in north-eastern South Africa. The Standardized Precipita...
