Welcome to the Global Drought System
This system is the onset of a Global Drought Observatory (GDO) mainly targeting at emergency response issues. Focus is on a Map Viewer and an information rich report. GDO is developed by the team of the European Drought Observatory ( EDO ). Some services you can find on the web service focusing on Europe. For example heat waves and low flows are only reported there. Also Drought observatories for South and Central America (SCADO) and Africa (ADO) have been developed by the EDO team.
