Improved Tools for Drought Planning and
Management
A Framework for Generating Exploratory Scenarios
of Drought Conditions Using Tree-Ring Information
"EXPLORATORY SCENARIOS describe
the future according to known processes of change and
extrapolations from the past by incrementally progressing
through time." SAHRA
Scenario Development Group
This site provides a compilation
of information to aid in the construction of
exploratory scenarios of drought conditions in the
Southwest through the use of tree-ring based
streamflow reconstructions of the Salt-Verde-Tonto
and Upper Colorado river basins.
