Executiv e Summary
Agricultural Drought Assessment is essential for taking appropriate remedial measures for improvement of drought situation. Satellite based remote sensing data has been shown to be highly useful for crop condition assessment and drought monitoring. A very successful project called National Agricultural Drought Assessment and Monitoring System (NADAMS) had been developed by National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), ISRO, which envisaged use of remote sensing and meteorological data for drought assessment of 13 agriculturally important states of India. After the technology was transferred to Mahalanobis National Crop Forecast Centre (MNCFC), Department of Agriculture & Cooperation, this is the fourth report of national level agricultural drought assessment brought by MNCFC, in collaboration with NRSC. This report assesses agricultural situation of the country upto the month of September, 2012.
Composite images of coarse resolution NOAA AVHRR data (1 km) was used for 9 states namely, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, while moderate resolution data from Resourcesat-2, AWiFS (56m) was used for 4 states namely, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Haryana. Crop condition has been assessed using satellite derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)/Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) images. Shortwave Angle Slope Index (SASI) derived from MODIS data has been used to generate Area Favorable for Crop Sowing (AFCS). These satellite derived products have been integrated with Soil Moisture Index (derived using soil water balance approach) and IMD Rainfall data (rainfall deviation, number of dry weeks) for assessment of drought situation in each district of these 13 states and further sub district level for 4 states.
For the Season wise Deficit rainfall was recorded in many meteorological sub-divisions namely, South Interior Karnataka, North Interior Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada, Gujarat region, Saurashtra and Kachchh, West UP, Haryana, Bihar. Soil Moisture Index (SMI) derived from spatial soil water balance model, showed improvement in the soil moisture availability due to significant rainfall in the September month. The Area Favorable for Crop Sowing has increased up to 106 M ha against a normal of 109 M ha, thus covering 97% of normal area. The unfavorable area was 3 M ha, mostly located in Karnataka, Gujarat and Rajasthan states. NDVI, an indicator of agricultural vegetation status, has significantly improved in most of the states – Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Northern half of Andhra Pradesh, West coast of Karnataka, Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, Eastern Rajasthan and Eastern Gujarat which reflecting the progression of Kharif crops. Higher values of NDWI showing increased surface wetness are observed in many parts of the country Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Northern half of Andhra Pradesh, West coast of Karnataka, Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, Northern Haryana, Eastern Rajasthan and Eastern Gujarat. District-wise analysis for 13 states indicated “Normal” agricultural situation in 293 districts. The agricultural situation is categorized as “Mild” in 56 districts and as “Moderate” in 62 districts.

AGRICULTURAL DROUGHT ASSESSMENT REPORT
September, 2012 All India
1.0 Introduction
'National Agricultural Drought Assessment and Monitoring System (NADAMS)' project, conceptualized and developed by National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), ISRO, Department of Space, provides near real-time information on prevalence, severity level and persistence of agricultural drought at state/ district/sub-district level. Currently, it covers 13 states of India, which are predominantly agriculture based and prone to drought situation. Agricultural conditions are monitored at state/district level using daily NOAA AVHRR data for 9 states. AWiFS (Advanced Wide Field Sensor) of Resourcesat 2 (56 m resolution) is used for detailed assessment of agricultural drought at district and sub district level in four states. MODIS 250m, 1km derived NDWI, SASI datasets have also been interpreted to complement the assessment. Fortnightly/monthly report of drought condition is provided to the Government under NADAMS. From the year 2012, the NADAMS project is being implemented by the Mahalanobis National Crop Forecast Centre (MNCFC), Ministry of Agriculture, after the technology was transferred to MNCFC by NRSC.
Agricultural drought assessment with multiple indices as indicated below;
Shortwave Angle Slope Index (SASI) Normalized Difference Wetness Index Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Soil Moisture Index (derived from soil water balance approach) IMD Rainfall data – rainfall deviation, number of dry weeks
The present report is a summary of agricultural situation during September 2012 for13 states and contains satellite derived vegetation index images, rainfall deviations and assessment of agricultural situation.
2.0 Vegetation Index Image
Among the various vegetation indices that are now available, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is most widely used for operational drought assessment because of its simplicity in calculation, easiness in interpretation and also its ability to partially compensate for the effects of atmosphere, illumination geometry etc. Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is derived from (NIR - Red/NIR + Red) where NIR and Red are the reflected radiation in visible and near infrared channels. Various colours in the NDVI image - Yellow through Green to Red - indicate increasing vegetation vigour. The legend of colour bars

and the vegetation index values are provided along with the vegetation index image. Water, clouds and snow have higher reflectance in the visible region and consequently NDVI assumes negative values for these features. Bare soil and rocks exhibit similar reflectance in both visible and near IR regions and the index values are near zero. The NDVI values for vegetation generally range from 0.1 to 0.6, the higher index values being associated with greater green leaf area and biomass
3.0 Spatial Vegetation Status
The agricultural crop condition is monitored based on the NDVI information derived from satellite data. The vegetation index images of the country after overlaying the forest area mask and agricultural vegetation condition map for June 2011 and 2010 are shown in Plates.
After precluding the forest area, district wise average vegetation index statistics are generated. The district wise vegetation status during the current season is assessed based on the seasonal NDVI progression.
4.0 Surface Wetness Indicators
Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) band is sensitive to moisture available in soil as well as in crop canopy. In the beginning of the cropping season, soil back ground is dominant hence SWIR is sensitive to soil moisture in the top 1-2 cm. As the crop progresses, SWIR becomes sensitive to leaf moisture content. SWIR band provides only surface wetness information. When the crop is grown-up, SWIR response is only from canopy and not from the underlying soil. NDWI using SWIR can complement NDVI for drought assessment particularly in the beginning of the cropping season. NDWI is derived as under; NDWI = (NIR-SWIR) / (NIR+SWIR) where Near Infra Red and SWIR are the reflected energy in these two spectral bands. Higher values of NDWI signify more surface wetness.
5.0 Shortwave Angle Slope Index (SASI)
SASI images were generated using 8-day composites of MODIS 500 m images of NIR, SWIR 1 and SWIR 2 bands. SASI is highly sensitive to rainfall and hence indirectly associated with crop sown area. SASI variations in the season which represent dynamics of surface moisture were used for assessing the Area Favourable for Crop Sowing (AFCS) from time to time. General threshold values of SASI specific to soil texture that indicate favorable situation for crop sowings were identified. Based on SASI thresholds, discrimination of the Area Favourable Crop Sowing (AFCS) was done on weekly basis for each state. The AFCS weekly values are useful to assess the intensity of early season/sowing period agricultural drought
MNCFC/NRSC |Agricultural Drought Assessment Report, September 2012 3
intensity in terms of timeliness in the commencement of sowings, extent of delay or reduction in crop sowings.
6.0 Soil Moisture Index from Soil Water Balance Model
The soil water balance (SWB) model is a convenient way of estimating the soil moisture over a large area with considerable reliability. A simple book keeping – bucket type – water tight model was developed to derive the top 30cm profile soil moisture. This model considers the initial root depth of 30 cm throughout the season to capture the soil water scenario for crops sown and germinating during any part of the cropping season. The soil water balance in the upper layer is governed by daily values of rainfall, runoff, evapo- transpiration (ET) and drainage to the second layer. When the upper layer saturates in excess of Field Capacity (FC) due to rainfall, the excess water percolates to the lower passive root zone and are instantaneously redistributed in that zone. The excess soil water in the passive zone moves out as deep percolation. Since the upper 30 cm is considered for the soil water assessment the lower limit of soil water is the residual water content of the soil as the upper layer is exposed to the atmosphere and subjected to upward flux due to the direct solar radiation. The climatic, soil and crop parameter are the main inputs for the SWB. The daily near real time TRMM 3B42RT spatial rainfall product and the daily global potential evapo- transpiration data are used as the rainfall and climatic input, respectively. The soil information was derived from the 1: 0.5 million scale NBSS&LUP soil map. Since this model does not take into account the irrigation applied from various sources, the results of the model should be considered over rainfed areas alone. The Soil Moisture Index (SMI) derived is defined as the proportion of the difference between the current soil moisture and the permanent wilting point to the field capacity and the permanent wilting point. The index values range from 0 to 100 with 0 indicating extreme dry condition and 100 extreme wet conditions.
7.0 Rainfall Status (Data Source: IMD, New Delhi, www.imd.gov.in)
As per IMD reports, Rainfall situation has further improved during September month. Total season’s rainfall (June to September 2012) was 820 mm against 887 mm of normal, deficit by 8 % at country level, as per IMD reports. There are 22 met sub-divisions with normal rainfall, 13 subdivisions with deficit rainfall and 1 sub-division with excess rainfall in 2012. In the southwest monsoon period of the year 2011, there were only 3 met sub-divisions with deficit rainfall with all other sub-divisions recording either normal or excess rainfall.
8.0 Highlights of Agricultural Situation – September 2012
Rainfall situation has further improved during September, reducing the extent of deficiency. Deficit rainfall was recorded in many meteorological sub-divisions namely, South Interior Karnataka, North Interior Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada, Gujarat region, Saurashtra & Kachchh, West UP, Haryana and Bihar.
MNCFC/NRSC |Agricultural Drought Assessment Report, September 2012 4
Soil Moisture Index (SMI) derived from spatial soil water balance model, up to September, showed improvement in the soil moisture availability due to significant rainfall in the month.
The Area Favorable for Crop Sowing/ Crop sown area (AFCS) has been derived from (1) SASI data integrated with ground data on cropping pattern, soils and irrigation support and (2) Spatial Soil Water Balance model. AFCS reflects the agricultural area with significant surface wetness and hence favorable for crop sowing activity.
AFCS at the end of July
There was a significant increase in AFCS or area sown from 44 M ha in June to 87 M ha in July. The AFCS has increased significantly in July from previous month in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh states. The unfavorable area for crop sowing is 22 M ha, and is mostly located in Gujarat, Rajasthan and Haryana and in the northern and central Karnataka and in coastal region and Rayalseema regions of Andhra Pradesh indicating the continued unfavorable seasonal conditions in July 2012. About 2.5 M ha of this unfavorable area corresponds to rice crop and is mostly located in Rajasthan, Haryana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh states.
AFCS at the end of August
With the occurrence of significant rainfall, the crop sown area has increased 97.7 M ha in August from 87 M ha in July. The unfavorable area is 10.9 M ha at nation level, of which about 7 M ha is located in 3 states namely Karnataka, Gujarat and Rajasthan. In these 3 states, the unfavorable area represents considerable proportion of Kharif crop area. In Andhra Pradesh state, about 1 M ha is yet to be sown with crops. In the remaining states, the unfavorable area is less than 10 percent of potential Kharif area. Thus, the overall agricultural situation in the country, with respect to crop sown area, indicates “Alert” situation in 3 states – Karnataka, Gujarat and Rajasthan with significant reduction in sown area and with less scope for (a) further raise in crop area and (b) late sown crop area reaching normal crop growth progression.
AFCS at the end of September
AFCS has increased to 106 M ha against a normal of 109 M ha, thus covering 97% of normal area. The unfavorable area was 3 M ha, mostly located in Karnataka, Gujarat and Rajasthan states.
NDVI, an indicator of agricultural vegetation status, has significantly improved in most of the states – Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Northern half of Andhra Pradesh, West coast of Karnataka,
MNCFC/NRSC |Agricultural Drought Assessment Report, September 2012 5
Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, Eastern Rajasthan and Eastern Gujarat – reflecting the progression of Kharif crops.
Reduced greenness signifying delayed crop sowing (reduced crop area) or poor crop growth is evident in southern parts of Andhra Pradesh, northern and southern Karnataka, Marathwada and Madhya Maharashtra regions of Maharashtra, West Gujarat, Southern Haryana and Western Rajasthan.
Higher values of NDWI showing increased surface wetness are observed in many parts of the country Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Northern half of Andhra Pradesh, West coast of Karnataka, Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, Northern Haryana, Eastern Rajasthan and Eastern Gujarat.
Multiple indices involving SMI derived from soil water balance, satellite derived SASI, NDWI and NDVI and their comparisons between 2012 and 2011/2010, IMD rainfall and its derivatives in general indicate significant further improvement in agricultural situation in the country.
In many parts of Karnataka state, Marathwada and Madhya Maharashtra regions of Maharashtra, West Gujarat, Southern Haryana, Western Rajasthan and in parts of Andhra Pradesh, the extent of crop sown area and/or the vigour of already sown crops is significantly less than that of Kharif 2011 or Kharif 2010 indicating agricultural drought situation.
District-wise analysis in 13 states by the end of September 2012 (as shown in Table 1 below) indicate the number of districts under different categories of agricultural situation. Since Tamil Nadu state receives significant rainfall during North East monsoon, there is scope for improvement in subsequent fortnights.
MNCFC/NRSC |Agricultural Drought Assessment Report, September 2012 6
Table 1: Number of districts under different categories of agricultural drought situation in 13 states
State Normal Mild Moderate Andhra Pradesh 13 05 04 Bihar 26 11 00 Chhattisgarh 15 00 00 Gujarat 13 02 10 Haryana 07 06 07 Jharkhand 21 01 00 Karnataka 08 07 15 Maharashtra 18 04 11 Madhya Pradesh 44 01 00 Odisha 25 05 00 Rajasthan 25 02 06 Tamil Nadu 09 12 09 Uttar Pradesh 69 00 00 Total 293 56 62
“Moderate agricultural drought” category districts/Taluks are characterised by one or more of the attributes – more than a month delayed sowing time, more than 25% reduction in crop area, poor greenness/moisture levels of crop vegetation, significant reduction in crop yield, lack of adequate irrigation infra-structure, reduced rate of increase crop greenness/moisture from July-August-September. There is less scope for improvement in the agricultural situation in these districts in subsequently.
“Mild agricultural drought” category districts are characterised by slightly reduced crop sown area or slightly reduced greenness of crops leading to slight reduction in crop yield. There is scope for improvement in subsequent fortnights in case of long duration crops.
The agricultural situation had improved from July to August with reduced number of districts under Alert class (119 in July to 66 in August) and Watch class (156 in July to 108 in August). With improvement in rainfall situation during September, the agricultural situation has further improved with 293 districts representing “Normal” class as against 237 districts in August.
Thus, the agricultural situation has progressively improved in the country, from June to September. Moderate agricultural drought is evident in 62 districts and Mild agricultural drought in 56 districts.
MNCFC/NRSC |Agricultural Drought Assessment Report, September 2012 7
Gujarat, Karnataka and Maharashtra are the states of concern, with significant number districts under “Moderate drought”, followed by Haryana and Rajasthan. There are 4 districts under this class in Andhra Pradesh.
Although there is significant number of districts under Moderate class, in Tamil Nadu state, the agricultural situation is largely dependent on the NE monsoon rainfall.
Sub-district level assessment: In four states namely, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Haryana, agricultural drought assessment has been done at sub- district level, using Resourcesat2; AWiFS derived indices along with other indices. The number of Blocks/Mandals/Taluks under different categories of agricultural situation – Normal, Mild and Moderate drought – in each district of these four states is furnished in the Table 3 to 6.
In Andhra Pradesh state, the agricultural situation has slightly improved from previous month. 165 mandals are categorised under “Moderate drought” class followed by 183 Mandals in “Mild drought” class and 703 Mandals in “Normal” class. Low NDVI/NDWI in Krishna delta area of Guntur district is caused by delay in the transplanting of rice.
In Haryana, 44 blocks are categorised under “Moderate agricultural drought” class followed by 32 blocks under “Mild agricultural drought” class and 45 blocks in “Normal” class. The “Moderate agricultural drought” class blocks mostly correspond to southern part of the state - Hisar, Bhiwani, Mahendragarh, Rewari, Jajjar and Mewat districts. In some of the blocks of this class, particularly located in Jind and Hisar districts, there is significant scope for improvement since the low NDVI values are essentially due to delay in crop calendar.
In Karnataka, 68 Taluks are categorised under “Moderate agricultural drought” class followed by 53 Taluks under “Mild agricultural drought” class and 55 Taluks under “Normal” class. The Taluks under Moderate drought class are distributed all over the state except in the west coast region.
In Maharashtra, 75 Taluks are categorised under “Moderate agricultural drought” class followed by 58 Taluks under “Mild agricultural drought” class and 223 Taluks under “Normal” class. The Taluks under Moderate drought are distributed mostly in Madhya Maharashtra and Marathwada regions of the state.
Summary tables showing district level categories of agricultural situation in 13 states and sub-district level categorisation in 4 states are furnished hereunder Table 2 – 6.
Progression of NDVI and NDWI during October needs to be observed particularly over the districts with long duration crops.
MNCFC/NRSC |Agricultural Drought Assessment Report, September 2012 8
Poor crop growth in parts of Karnataka, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh Rajasthan and Haryana may result in the reduction of crop yield.
