Access to drought data
For drought, we refer to the national-level and publicly available datasets. These datasets show the lowest groundwater levels for average and extreme years. Please refer to the Assumptions & limitations page for more information about the datasets.

Description |
The maps are outcomes of calculations based on the National Water Model, which have been used to determine the effects of the Delta Scenarios. The maps reflect the lowest groundwater levels. More information can be found on the Climate Impact Atlas’ map narrative. |
