Potential Drought Monitoring over Agriculture Area in Java Island, Indonesia
Indonesian National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN)
Drought monitoring and early warning are major components of drought risk management. The goal of drought risk management is to increase society's coping capacity, leading to greater resilience and a reduced need for government or donor interventions in the form of disaster assistance. The second major disaster in Indonesia since 1815 is drought. In the agricultural area, drought is the major disaster besides flood and landslide. The objective of this prototype is the followings;
1) To enhance the understanding on climate change-related drought in Indonesia
2) To develop the methods/techniques of drought monitoring over the agriculture areas in Java island accessible for users and public
