Table 4 Drought and waterlogging grades based on the standardized precipitation requirement index (SPRI)
Drought grades | SPRI | Waterlogging grades | SPRI |
|---|---|---|---|
Extreme drought | SPRI ≤ − 2.0 | Extreme waterlogging | SPRI ≥ 2.0 |
Severe drought | −2.0 < SPRI ≤ −1.5 | Severe waterlogging | 1.5 ≤ SPRI < 2.0 |
Moderate drought | −1.5 < SPRI ≤ –1.0 | Moderate waterlogging | 1.0 ≤ SPRI < 1.5 |
Mild drought | −1.0 < SPRI ≤ −0.5 | Mild waterlogging | 0.5 ≤ SPRI < 1.0 |
