Drought Management:
INDICES WITHOUT DATA
These are the indices that were not utilized in this assessment.
In the case of the Crop Moisture Index and Ground Water Index, usable data was
simply unavailable. Based on discussions with members of the RI Water Resources
Board and the US Geological Survey, the Fire Index was determined to add little
value to the overall assessment of drought conditions.
The LINKS are to websites that compile and display the relevant information.
The Crop Moisture Index and the Fire Hazard Potential Index are displayed as
a map with no numerical (tabular) data available. The Ground Water Index has
a wealth of historical, tabular data, but unfortunately it was not recoverable
in a usable format for this assessment.
