Supporting Effective Drought Risk Management in Vulnerable Catchments of Chile > Groundwater Drought Indicators: workshop 1  Groundwater Drought Indicatorsworkshop 1The first part of the project focusses on groundwater monitoring and early warning capacities, that are currently inexistent in Chile. As longstanding expertise is available at UK institutes, a technology transfer took place through the workshop “Supporting Effective Drought Risk Management in Vulnerable Catchments of Chile”, held in Santiago de Chile on 9-11 November 2015. 
Two international experts on hydro(geo)logical drought were invited to capacitate the participants on the spread of meteorological and hydrological drought through lectures and group work. The key topics of the workshop were: - Drought indices that can quantify the propagation of droughts from meteorological drought to hydrological drought (i.e. drought in rivers and groundwater) - Application of the widely used threshold level method for quantification of duration and deficit volume of drought events, by use of the ifstat-package in R - Optionally: application of well-known standardized drought indices such as SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index), SRI (Standardized Runoff Index) and SGI (Standardized Groundwater Index)
