EDO & GDO regional, national and local products

The Drought indicators produced by EDO and GDO are complemented by regional and local indicators (e.g., national, regional, and river basin).

These indicators are based on data provided by independent organizations, and made available through interoperable web-mapping services or ad-hoc integration into the European Drought Observatory (EDO) and the Global Drought Observatory (GDO). With these layers, users can deepen their analysis from continental scale to finer scales, test indicators and study drought-related phenomena and events at different scales or comparing different approaches.
