Article Synopsis
- Drought significantly impacts agricultural regions, yet traditional monitoring typically focuses on precipitation alone, which can be misleading in places like riverine Bangladesh that have multiple water sources.
- The study examines vegetation condition, soil moisture, and precipitation trends from 2003 to 2019 in the Northwestern Teesta floodplain using various indices and statistical regression analysis.
- Findings show improving vegetation and soil moisture conditions, but a decline in meteorological drought since 2007, highlighting the lack of connection between agricultural and meteorological factors, possibly due to increased irrigation and changing cropping patterns.
