AN2.5 Developing a Drought Management Plan
This guidance note for water resources managers describes a proactive risk management-based approach in which a Drought Management Plan (DMP) is prepared in advance to be activated once a drought situation develops. This should be seen in the context of State Council Decree No. 552 ‘Drought Mitigation Regulation’ issued in 2009. Drought is a normal climatic feature. That it is also a serious and continuing worldwide water issue is more due to lack of effective water planning and management than to climate. Society can reduce its vulnerability and therefore lessen the risks associated with drought episodes through mitigation and preparedness (risk management).
