![]() ![]() ![]() The results elaborate on how the yield of wheat crop grown in a typical setting common in the South Asian region respond to the magnitude of drought indices. This correlation provides insight into the suitability of various drought indices for agricultural drought characterization. ![]() The magnitude of drought indices for the future is correlated with the crop yield response based on AquaCrop model simulations with observed climate data being used as input. The results of heatwaves and agricultural drought present an alarming future and call for immediate actions for preparedness and adaptation. ![]() The results answer the question of what the future holds in the GZDCA regarding climate hazards of heatwaves, heavy precipitation, and agricultural drought. This study uses biased corrected climate projections of temperature and precipitation to compute characteristics of potential climate hazards that are pronounced in the Gomal Zam Dam Command Area (GZDCA)- an irrigated agricultural area in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. There are several indices and metrics to quantify climate hazards that can inform preparedness and planning at different levels e.g., global, regional, national, and local. Many dimensions of human life and the environment are vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change and the hazards associated with it. ![]()
