  4. Abstract:
  5. This paper assesses the cycles and indices of drought in Iran and prepares general maps of the region, which are affected by droughts with 10- and 30-year reversible periods frequency of 1 and 3 years by utilizing statistical methods. To study the condition of drought, some indices have been applied in Yazd Province over a 48-year statistical period (1925-2000). Then with regard to existing statistics (1998-2001), the effect of drought on various issues during the most recent drought cycle have been assessed. © 2005 Taylor & Francis
