Drought vulnerability assessment for different hydrological conditions based on Standardized Runoff Index and Flow Duration Curve in Lithuania

ABSTRACT: The comparison of surface water resources and surface water consumption is enough good measure for the assessment how the decline in water resources may affect the water demand coverage and the river basin vulnerability to droughts in water resources sector. The vulnerability has been estimated as the surface runoff and surface water consumption ratio for different administrative areas and different river catchments in Lithuania.
