Abstract

A Spatial Decision Support System has been developed to analyze the specific problems related to water availability, agriculture and livelihood at 40 selected villages of Purulia and Bankura District. This micro-level analysis is crucial to farmers and various stakeholders to properly formulate strategies and reduce the vulnerability of the area to drought. Drought analysis at village level was carried out with drought indices like the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Temperature Condition Index (TCI) and Vegetation Condition Index (VCI). An in-depth analysis of rainfall data of 115 years (1901-2015) in Kashipur & Chhatna blocks has been done using the Mann-Kendall test and Sen Slope estimator.
