Abstract/Description
The South Asia Drought Monitoring System (SADMS), created by the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE) and partners, provided real-time drought severity data at micro-level to three Indian districts. The crop yields and incomes in these areas were significantly higher than in the control areas. As a result, the Indian government and World Bank plan to scale out the model.
