2024-03-06T08:00:02+00:00

In the recent years climate change is the hot topic of research. Climate change can have severe effect on the environment. In this study, the impact of drought in different districts of Punjab, Pakistan was studied using Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Anomaly Index (SAI). The SPI is applied on the rain data and the SAI was applied on the temperature data. The data was collected from Pakistan Metrological Department. At first, we fit the data on Length Biased Exponential Distribution and then we applied Standardized Precipitation Index on the rain data received from Pakistan Meteorological Department from 1993 to 2022. We also computed SPI using 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month moving average of the original data. We conducted spatial and temporal analysis using SPI and for the visual representation we also plot maps of the past five years for better understanding of the drought. We used temperature to better explain the drought impact in Pakistan. After applying SAI, we find out that temperate of the data is above average which means there is drought impact in different districts of Pakistan. The results show the clear drought pattern in different districts of Pakistan. We ignore the 0 and negative values of rain data before fitting the Length Biased Exponential Distribution as it is undefined for these values and then we compute the results. The graphs show that after taking moving average the drought patterns decrease in districts and also few years does not show any drought pattern.

Using JMP software, the data analysis was carried out, which involved tests like Reliability, Validity, Correlation, and Factor analysis to develop SEM model. The findings show good reliability, with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.868 and a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test value of 0.793. It was noted that the model fits well, with Goodness of Fit indices values of 0.98 and a Comparative Fit Index of 0.90.
