Documentation

Description:
Projected changes in the area under drought and population affected, defined with changes in Terrestrial Water Storage – Drought Severity Index (TWS-DSI) projected with 7 terrestrial hydrology models driven by 4 CMIP5 climate models using the RCP6.0 concentration pathway. Terrestrial water storage (TWS) is the sum of continental water stored in canopies, snow and ice, rivers, lakes and reservoirs, wetlands, soil and groundwater.
