En hydrologie, un indice de sécheresse concerne les niveaux des cours d'eau, des lacs et des réservoirs, comparés à leurs valeurs moyennes. En agriculture, il doit se rapporter aux effets cumulatifs d'un déficit de transpiration absolu ou anormal. 8, record 1, French, - indice%20de%20s%C3%A9cheresse

Plusieurs méthodes ont été utilisées pour évaluer l'intensité de la sécheresse en fonction de sa durée mensuelle, saisonnière et annuelle; la plus couramment utilisée était l'écart en pourcentage à la moyenne ou la normale pluviométrique. On a estimé aussi le déficit hydrique en comparant l'évapotranspiration potentielle à la pluviométrie. L'intensité a été également évaluée en terme d'indices, dont le plus connu est celui proposé par Palmer (PDI ou Palmer Drought Severity Index). 3, record 2, French, - indice%20de%20s%C3%A9cheresse
