Virginia B. Smith, M.S.E., David R. Maidment, Ph.D.
ABSTRACT
In order to improve drought mitigation, the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) initiated a research project to design a prototype of an Integrated Drought Information System (IDIS) for Texas. The IDIS is a tool for drought monitoring that functions by incorporating several sources of disparate drought information. The goals of the IDIS are to create an information system that will allow decision makers, researchers and the general public access and information about drought conditions. This report describes the ideas, framework and process used in developing the IDIS prototype for the Trinity River Basin, in Texas.
