The study objectives were designed to
enhance the state's capacity to assess long-term
effects of drought and increase resilience to drought risks
at state, district, and community levels. The process for
development of study objectives featured extensive
consultation with affected sectors, and with state and
national programs that aim to address the effects of
drought. The study aimed to: (i) develop a framework for
simulating long-term impacts of drought in drought-prone
areas and at state levels; (ii) conduct risk assessments of
the impacts under different scenarios; and (iii) assist the
Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) in development of a
strategy for adapting to frequent drought and water
deficits. During the study, a model was developed as a
powerful tool for thorough drought risk assessments and for
investigation of risk coping strategies and climate
scenarios on crop yield and production. The model was
calibrated using local farming practices and crop selection
(that is, rice, maize, jowar (sorghum), sunflower, and
groundnut,) in the eight selected districts. The report
presents results at the district level. Challenges in
determining the economic impacts included: the slow onset of
droughts that spread over long periods and large areas; the
significant indirect losses; the need to link local impact
analysis with statewide analysis; and the linkages between
the different sectors and subsectors of the economy, the
flow of goods and services and employment. |
