The main aim of present study was investigation on the effects of drought on vegetation cover and groundwater resources. In present study an available climatic data series (2001-2017) for 9 synoptic stations in Lorestan province were analyzed to detect wet and dry years by SPI. Also a long data series of MODIS data were analyzed by remote sensing data and the NDVI maps have been produced for study period (2001-2017). In addition the relationship between rainfall and groundwater level was investigated. Results of present study show that there is a direct significant correlation (R2=0.83) between SPI and the NDVI. In addition, results show that there is a significant correlation between groundwater level and three months ago precipitation at 95% confidence level. During study p... view moreĀ»
