Characterization of Meteorological Drought Using Monte Carlo Feature Selection and Steady-State Probabilities

Figure 1

Geographical locations of the six selected stations in northern areas of Pakistan. The selected stations are important for the reservoir systems of the country. Most of the agricultural lands of the country depend on the reservoir systems that are linked to the selected stations. Several publications related to drought analysis [86, 97–99] have been based on these stations. Based on these publications and importance of the stations for the reservoir systems, therefore, these stations are selected for the current analysis.
